Updated 17 January 2025: Works on the A9 north of Pitlochry are now due to start in Sunday 26 January. These works have been rescheduled from December 2024. Please see new dates below in red.
BEAR Scotland, working on behalf of Transport Scotland, is set to start essential resurfacing improvements on the A9 single carriageway between the Foss Road Junction and the Loch Faskally Bridge to the north of Pitlochry.
Works will start at 7pm on Sunday 26 January and are due to be completed by 6am on the morning of Friday 2 February.
To ensure the safety of both workers and road users, temporary traffic lights will be implemented each night with a convoy system in place to control traffic through the works site. Traffic lights will also be placed at the Clunie/Foss Junction.
The road will be open outwith working hours and access through the works site for emergency service vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “This crucial surfacing project on the A9 between Foss Road and Loch Faskally 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 are grateful 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.”
