BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s trunk road operating company, will start £40k worth of road safety improvements on the A9 dual carriageway south of Findhorn Bridge on 15 May.
The works will continue for three weeks, taking place on Monday to Friday from 7am to 7pm each week. No works are planned on Saturdays or Sundays. Weather dependant, the project will be completed by 7pm on Friday 9 June.
The scheme will install a new section of wire rope safety fence, along with associated kerbs and road markings, to close a redundant crossover gap in the central reserve.
For the duration of the works, Lane 2 will be permanently closed in both directions and a 50mph speed limit will be in place, for the safety of roadworkers and road users.
BEAR Scotland has contacted all relevant stakeholders to inform them of the project and share information about the traffic management arrangements that will be in place.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said: “Trunk road safety is paramount at BEAR Scotland and this investment from Transport Scotland will improve safety for all road users at this location on the A9.
“The traffic management required to undertake these works is essential to keep everyone safe, so we encourage all road users to follow any signs or temporary arrangements, especially speed limits, that are put in place.
“Our teams will do all they can to complete the project as quickly and as safely as possible. We would like to thank road users in advance for their patience during this project and encourage them to plan ahead by checking Traffic Scotland for up to date journey information and leave some extra time to reach their destination.”
