The A82 was closed in two places this afternoon due to two incidents.

The A82 has reopened to traffic after a two-vehicle crash and a stuck lorry.

The Inverness to Fort William road was shut between Invermoriston and Fort Augustus this afternoon following a collision at around 12.55pm on Bank Holiday Monday.

Further north on the same route, a lorry blocked the road after it became stuck while turning.

The A82 has now reopened with congestion beginning to ease.

Two-vehicle crash closes A82

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was informed of the crash by paramedics at 1.18pm.

Two appliances from Fort Augustus and Drumnadrochit were dispatched to the scene.

Firefighters used hydraulic cutting gear and small tools at the scene before departing the area at around 2.40pm.

The extent of any injuries is unclear at this time.

A police spokesperson said: “Around 12.50pm on Monday, 1 April 2024 police received a report of a two-car crash on the A82 near to Invermoriston.

“Police, SAS and SFRS are currently at the scene and the road has been closed in both directions.”
