On behalf of Transport Scotland, BEAR Scotland will be carrying out essential surface improvements on A9 between Ruthven and River Spey, south of Kingussie junction, with works set to get underway on Sunday 25 May 2025.
The resurfacing works will see a 1.2km stretch of the carriageway resurfaced, to ensure that the A9 continues to operate safely for years to come. Works are scheduled to take place over five nights from the evening of Sunday 25 May until the morning of Friday 30 May, between the hours of 8pm to 6am, subject to weather conditions.
To protect roadworkers and motorists there will be a lane closure with a 10mph convoy in place each night. The lane closure will be removed ouwith working hours to keep disruption to a minimum, although a speed restriction of 30mph will remain 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.
