Road by Highland Park to reopen

Part of the Holm Road which has been closed due to damage to a gantry at Highland Park is set to reopen.

Orkney Islands Council (OIC) confirmed this Wednesday evening that contractors have completed work to take down the damaged gantry, which runs over the road.

OIC’s roads team has inspected the road. Shortly after 5pm, the council said it’s out of hours crews were on their way to reopen the road.

It was anticipated that all signage would be down and the road open to motorists at 5.30pm.
