The B9075 road from Kergord to the Sandwater junction is closed to through traffic, due to a low hanging power cable over the road.
*** Update - 11am, Wednesday 15th March ***
The B9075 is now open to through traffic again
-----------------
Access to properties is still possible where necessary. Road closed signs are in place and the road will remain closed until repairs have been made to the power cable.
The A968 Dales Lees road between Voe and Firth also remains closed for the time being although gritting crews will attempt snow clearance on this route today. The alternative route on the B9076 via Brae and Graven is open to traffic.
The continuing wintry road conditions will affect household waste and recycling collections. Households in the North and West Mainland are unlikely to have collections today, although there will be collections in Lerwick and the South Mainland. Properties on side roads may not have their bins collected today but cleansing staff hope to collect later in the week or over the weekend, when weather conditions allow.
Roads are passable with care and Council gritters will be out again today to treat roads and to clear snow where necessary. Forecasts indicate that the cold spell will continue, with snow showers expected later today and increasing northerly winds this evening. The Met Office has a yellow warning of snow and ice in place until Friday.
