• Works start on Sunday 10 May

• Overnight convoy operating between Glackmore and Allangrange

• 24-hour lane closure with overnight convoy system between Tore Roundabout and Glackmore

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is carrying out a programme of essential resurfacing improvements on the southbound carriageway of the A9 between Tore Roundabout and Allangrange, starting Sunday 10 May.

Works will be carried out between the hours of 8pm and 6am, in two phases, and are expected to be completed by the morning of Monday 27 May.

To ensure the safety of both workers and road users, appropriate traffic management measures will be in place to control traffic through the work site:

• Phase 1 – Glackmore to Allangrange Junction Southbound: Sunday 10 May to Monday 18 May under overnight lane closures with a convoy system in place
• Phase 2 – Tore Roundabout to Glackmore Junction Southbound: Monday 18 May to Wednesday 27 May under 24-hour lane closures with a nighttime convoy system in place

Due to the depth of excavations required during phase 2 of the project, the lane closure must be left in place outwith the working hours.

During night-time surfacing operations, the southbound right‑turn lanes at both the Glackmore and Arpafeelie junctions will be closed. A signed diversion will be in place via the A9 North Kessock Junction. Traffic seeking to use the crossovers at either junction to access the southbound carriageway will be diverted northbound to Tore Roundabout.

In addition, the northbound right‑turn lane into the Allangrange Junction will be closed, with a signed diversion via the A9 Tore Roundabout. As a result, the southbound Allangrange Junction will also be closed. Motorists wishing to access this junction will be diverted via the A832.

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

Steve Taylor, BEAR Scotland’s North West Design Manager said: “This crucial surfacing project on the A9 Crubenmore Duals will fix existing defects and significantly enhance the driving experience for all motorists.

“Our teams are committed to executing these works effeicently, with safety as our top priority. We thank 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.”
