Surface dressing in Evie on Monday and Tuesday

Orkney Islands Council will be starting resurfacing in Evie tomorrow, Monday.

Work will continue in this location throughout the day and Tuesday.

This will be on the main road in Evie (the A966 from the 30mph at the cemetery to the Old Evie School) and the road will be closed in both directions.

The suggested diversion is via Finstown, the Harray Junction, and Birsay Crossroads. Where possible, Hillside Road (i.e. the road over the hill from Evie to Dounby) will remain open to through traffic, though drivers should expect some delays.

These works will affect public bus Service 6: Kirkwall – Tingwall – Evie – Birsay.

The 6.38am, 6.55am, 11.15am, 3.30pm and 5.10pm services from Kirkwall are unaffected.

Outwith these times, the bus from Kirkwall will go only as far as Tingwall and will not serve Evie and Birsay.

Full details of services affected and route changes are available here.
