It is worth noting that while the assessment for the ‘high road’ option included the capital cost for that option and the 60-year operation and maintenance costs for the both the new road and the existing A82, there was no consideration given to the future status and use of the existing A82 in the event that a High Road alternative was constructed and no cost allowance for de-trunking it or for making any improvements to it prior to being handed over to the local authority.
