Eriskay - 14th July 2001

Eriskay cutting

The week up to July 14 saw a range of preparations to make sure that the Causeway was ready to come into use by normal traffic. Preparations were also made for the final trips by the ferry on Thursday July 12.

The main areas of continued work involved the restoration of the landscape around the Uist end of the causeway where the haul road, quarry access and the quarry itself were rapidly disappearing under peat and turf.
