Killimster Moss road refurbishment completed
A CAITHNESS road which was closed for four weeks has been reopened for traffic.
The B876 Killimster Moss Road was officially re-opened on Friday after improvement works were completed.
Caithness Civic leader WIllie Mackay praised the completion of the project,
"This is a fantastic job well done using a complete new technique over deep moss on top of aged concrete slabs.
"The process involved two layers of wired mesh sandwiched together between layers of tar.
“The first layer on top of the concrete slabs was a stainless steel reinforcing mesh.
"Once this was covered then a second layer of road mesh engineered from double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire was added."
“The technique was quite amazing and expertly done by the local Highland Council roadmen who did a first class job and completed the work on time.
“We have a super surface now on the Killimster Moss and I'm delighted to see the road open to traffic again."
