Traffic lights will be in place on the South Road in Lerwick from tomorrow morning (Tuesday), to allow investigations to begin into the cause of the road damage following a period of heavy rain.
The area affected is on the South Road, near the junction with Upper Baila where the road surface has become raised. Warning signs are currently in place for road users.
The road damage will require excavation of the full width of the road to establish the cause, before repairs can then take place. Council workers will start on this tomorrow morning and traffic lights will be in use to control the traffic flow.
Road users should expect delays on this stretch of road until the investigation and repairs are complete. Shetland Islands Council would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by this essential work.
