• Carriageway works start on Sunday 27 April

• Traffic lights with convoy until 6am on Saturday 3 May

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Traffic Scotland, is set to start essential road improvement works in two locations on the A9 single carriageway between Guay and Ballinluig, beginning on the night of Sunday 27 April.

The project involves resurfacing as well as upgrading road markings on a total of 1.8km on the A9 single carriageway south of Ballinluig with works expected to be completed by 6am on Saturday 3 May.

Temporary traffic lights with a 10mph convoy system will be in place between 7pm and 6am for the duration of the works. In addition, a reduced speed limit will be setup on approach to the site. These traffic managements measure will be removed outwith working hours.

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

Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “This crucial surfacing project along the A9 will fix existing defects and significantly enhance the driving experience for all motorists.

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

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