Road improvements worth a combined value of £530,000 on the A9 between Dalguise and Ballinluig will get underway on Monday 26 June for 31 nights. The works will be carried out by BEAR Scotland on behalf of Transport Scotland.

The work begins on 26 June with lining improvements, including the replacement of the white lines and studs with more reflective alternatives, on 8.7km of the A9 carriageway between the Dalguise Junction and the Ballinluig dual carriageway. This will be completed by 6am on Saturday 5 August.

From Sunday 2 July, 1200 metres of the A9 will be resurfaced at two sites (A9 Dalmarnock to Rotmell – south of the Rotmell junction and A9 Rotmell to Dowally – south and north of the Dowally Junction). The resurfacing will be completed by 6am on Wednesday 12 July.

The road marking improvements are part of our our commitment with Transport Scotland to improve the safety performance of the A9.

Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as they can, and we thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance while we complete these projects. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
