BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is set to carry out measures to improve user safety on the A9. Works are now planned in at North Kessock Junction, north of Inverness.
These works are due to start on Tuesday 10 November and will last up to four weeks between 7pm and 6am each night. No work will take place on Saturday and Sunday nights.
The works will include the installation of new chevron signs, hazard marker posts, solar-powered bollards and some minor signing amendments.
The planned works should enhance the prominence of the junction islands to reduce the potential for overshoot incidents.
The A9 will remain open throughout with lane restrictions and a reduced speed limit in place. The noisiest operations will take place before 11pm to minimise disruption to surrounding properties. Outwith working hours, restrictions will be removed. Access to properties will be unaffected.
Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland’s Northwest Representative, said: “This project will see enhanced warning signage installed at key A9 junctions at North Kessock. This will improve the prominence of the traffic islands at the junctions to help reduce overshoot incidents.
“Our team aim to minimise disruption by scheduling works to be undertaken at night. Our teams will do all they can to finish the project as quickly and safely as possible.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance and would also encourage them to plan their journeys ahead by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
