Following a recent landslide, the A968 road between Voe and Firth in the North Mainland is now closed to all through traffic.
*** Update: Fri 23rd December 2022 ***
This route will remain CLOSED to all through traffic during the Festive period. Carriageway repairs will continue as early as possible in the New Year. Apologies for any inconvenience.
----------
The road is now closed at the Voe and Firth junctions, although access for local residents to premises is still possible. Anyone travelling to/from the Toft Ferry Terminal should use the alternative B9076 route, via Graven and Brae, which remains open to traffic.
An assessment of the stability of the landslide and the immediate vicinity will take time and the road closure may be in place for several days.
