On behalf of Transport Scotland, BEAR Scotland will be carrying out essential road surface repairs on A9 Creag Bhaig, North of Kingussie, with works set to get underway on Thursday 22 May.
The works will see around 200m of the carriageway resurfaced. The works are due to take place over two nights from the evening of Thursday 22 May until the morning of Saturday 24 May, between the hours of 8pm and 6am, subject to weather conditions.
To protect roadworkers and motorists there will be a lane closure with convoy in place each night. The A9 will be open outwith working hours to keep distruption to a minimum. There will be a speed restriction on 30mph in place as traffic will be running over a temporary surface.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “this surfacing project on the A9 will help address defects and greatly improve the surface for motorists.
“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 works. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland on www.trafficscotland.org, twitter at @trafficscotland or the new mobile site my.trafficscotland.org.
Materials removed from the existing carriageway will be recycled using SEPA approved methods.
