Latest project for the A9 starts on Sunday

BEAR Scotland, the North West trunk road operating company working on behalf of Transport Scotland, is set to start essential overnight resurfacing improvements on the A9 single carriageway between the Dalnamein Junction and the southern end of the Drumochter duals in two phases.

Phase one - A9 North of Dalnamein Junction:

Resurfacing improvements on the single carriageway section north of the Dalnamein Junction will start at 7pm on Sunday, November 10, with phase one works scheduled to be completed by 6am on Monday, November 25.

Phase two - A9 South of Drumochter Duals:

Resurfacing improvements on the single carriageway section as it transitions to and from the dual carriageway south of the Drumochter Duals will begin at 7pm on Monday, November 25 with all works due to be completed by 6am on the morning of Saturday, December 21.

To ensure the safety of both workers and road users, temporary traffic lights will be in place during working hours, 7pm to 6am, with a convoy system to escort traffic through the work site safely.

All traffic management will be removed outwith working hours.

Access through the works site for emergency services will be maintained at all times.

Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland, said: “This crucial surfacing project on the A9 South of the Drumochter Duals will fix existing defects and significantly enhance the driving experience for all road users.

“Our teams are committed to executing these works quickly and with safety as our top priority. We thank the local community and road users for their patience while we complete the improvements.

“To minimise delays, we recommend that road users plan their journeys in advance by consulting the Traffic Scotland website for real-time travel updates.”

Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland on www.traffic.gov.scot, X @trafficscotland or on the mobile site my.trafficscotland.org.
