Overnight resurfacing work on sections of the A9 in Highland Perthshire, set to last for more than five weeks, will start on Wednesday (February 12).
The essential work will take place on the A9 between the Dalnamein Junction and the southern end of the Drumochter duals in two phases.
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.
Phase one – A9 North of Dalnamein Junction – on the single carriageway section north of the Dalnamein Junction will start at 7pm on Wednesday, February 12 with works scheduled to be completed by 6am on Thursday, February 20.
Phase two – A9 South of Drumochter Duals – on the single carriageway section as it transitions to and from the dual carriageway south of the Drumochter Duals will begin at 7pm on Thursday, February 20 with all works due to be completed by 6am on the morning of Saturday, March 22.
There will be no works on Saturday nights and all traffic management will be removed outwith working hours.
BEAR Scotland north west representative Ian Stewart 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.”
