Before the mile-long route, islanders had to walk or use off-road vehicles between opposites ends of the island.
The tiny island of Kerrera has its first tarred road linking communities in the north and south of the island.
The mile-long route opened as a forestry-grade track in November last year. Work to tar the surface has now been finished. Before the road-building project, islanders had to walk or use off-road vehicles to reach opposite ends of the four mile-long isle.Kerrera is a five-minute ferry trip from Oban with a population of 70.Resident Martin Shields, the road project's infrastructure manager, said having a surfaced road was vital to help Kerrera thrive.
He said: "The whole of the island has access to the marina now, and families can mix and get together for things like a Halloween party this weekend.
