BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is set to carry out essential road improvements on 1km of the northbound A9 dual carriageway at Luncarty, including the on- and off-slip roads.
Works will take place between 7pm and 6am starting from Monday 20 May with improvements due to be completed by Tuesday 3 June. No works to take place on Friday or Saturday nights.
To protect the workforce and the travelling public, works will be carried out under temporary traffic lights with a convoy system in place on the dual carriageway. During the works, both the northbound on- and off-slip roads will be closed with signed diversions in place via the B9099 and B8063.
The route between the B9099 and B8063 will be open and will be controlled by a traffic management operative.
Outwith working hours, the temporary traffic management measures will be removed however, speed restrictions will remain in place during the day as there will be no road markings and traffic may need to travel over a temporary surface.
Access through the works sites for emergency services will be maintained at all times.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “These crucial surfacing projects 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.”
