Our online Planned Works map has now been updated with details of the major projects scheduled to take place across the North West trunk road network during the 2025/26 financial year. From the rugged Highlands to coastal communities, the North West team has a packed schedule of improvements to keep the region’s vital connections safe and reliable.

To help road users better plan journeys and understand the essential maintenance taking place, the map includes details of our upcoming programme of works, including surfacing improvements, structural repairs, safety enhancements and more!

Users can click on the coloured icons to view further information about each project, including an estimated start date and the planned traffic management at each location. Whilst all works timings are subject to weather conditions or operational programme changes, the interactive map gives road users and communities a clearer picture of what’s coming up in their area and when.

Here’s a closer look at a few of the significant schemes coming up in the North West Unit over the next few months.

A9 Findhorn Bridge deck repairs

The deck of Findhorn Bridge is set to receive an upgrade worth £722,000. Working in conjunction with Balfour Beatty and Contraflow, our teams are set to carry out concrete repairs, waterproofing and resurfacing in places. The traffic management measures will be incorporated into those already in place for the Tomatin to Moy Dual Carriageway upgrade scheme therefore keeping disruption to a minimum.

A82 Stoneymollan to Arden filter drain investigation

This summer our teams will be conducting an investigation of the filter drain running between Balloch and Loch Lomond. The works involve carrying out testing for contamination and a CCTV survey to determine the condition of the filter drain. Not only does this provide valuable information regarding the current condition of the drainage assets and identify areas requiring repairs, but it also allows operatives to clear any blockages found within the drainage system to alleviate flooding on the trunk road.

A86 summer surfacing

The A86 is set to benefit from significant resurfacing projects between Kingussie and Spean Bridge with key works programmed over the summer months. Projects include West of Tullochrome, East of Strathmashie and Kinloch Laggan. Thanks to an investment of over £3 million from Transport Scotland, the route will provide a safer and smoother journey for road users.
