The C147 road just north of Catacol on Arran has been closed by North Ayrshire Council due to damage caused by Storm Boelo, with the road remaining shut until at least Thursday 29th October.

Damage has occurred to the C147 road just north of Catacol on Arran as a result of the effects of Storm Boelo. Consequently, the road will be closed to ensure public safety.
Due to the ongoing adverse weather conditions and ferry disruption associated with the next storm event, a full structural assessment of the damage cannot be undertaken until Thursday 29th October at the earliest. The road will therefore remain closed until at least that time.
Once the inspection is completed, the extent of the damage, the necessary repairs, and the traffic management arrangements for the repair works will be determined.
North Ayrshire Council apologises for the inconvenience this closure will cause and thanks road users for their patience and understanding while the damage is assessed and addressed.
