Survey scheduled for damaged Portknockie to Cullen cycleway and footpath

A survey of the damaged cycleway and footpath between Portknockie and Cullen will begin next month.

The path was closed in November following a landslip and Moray Council has been working in partnership with Sustrans to resolve this issue. Sustrans have arranged a survey to assess what remedial works will be required to re-open the route, which should commence in July, with the results from the survey being available later in the summer.

It’s anticipated that a temporary repair could be in place by late August, with the bulk of the follow-up repair works carried out by the end of the financial year, depending on the findings of the survey. Moray Council will continue to work with Sustrans throughout the process.

Nestling between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands, Moray stretches from Tomintoul in the south to the shores of the Moray Firth, from Keith in the east to Brodie Castle in the west.
