A830 road: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

The A830, sometimes known as the Road to the Isles (although in reality it forms only a part of that historic route), is a road in Lochaber, in the Highlands of Scotland, which connects the town of Fort William to the port of Mallaig.

The road passes through several small settlements, including Corpach, Glenfinnan and Arisaig and bypasses the village of Morar. Mostly single-carriageway, work was expected to begin in May 2006 on rebuilding the remaining single-track section between Arisaig and Lochailort, but was delayed by requirements of the European Habitats Directive. Construction is now expected to begin by mid-2007.^[1]
