There will be no works taking place on Friday and Saturday nights.
Traffic management measures will be removed outwith working hours. However, speed restrictions will remain in place during the day as traffic will be running on a temporary surface with no road markings.
Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “These works will help restore the condition of the road surface of this section of the A83, greatly improving driving conditions.
“Our teams are committed to executing these works quickly and with safety as our top priority. We thank the local community and road users for their patience while we complete the improvements.
“To minimise delays, we recommend that motorists plan their journeys in advance by consulting the Traffic Scotland website for real-time travel updates.”
