• Works begin 5 February 2024 for two weeks
• Overnight road closure of Ralia Café slip road week one

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will be carrying out tree removal and pruning works between the Ralia Café Slip Road and the B9150 Newtonmore junction starting on 5 February 2024.

To ensure access to the café and for the safety of the public and the workforce, these works have been scheduled overnight and will require the closure of the Ralia Café slip road from Monday 5 to Friday 9 February, between 7.30pm and 5.30am. On Monday 12 February the works will move on to the A9 until the night of Friday 16 February/morning of Saturday 17 February, with temporary traffic lights and a lane closure in place. No works will take place during daytime or on Saturdays or Sundays.

Access for local residents and emergency services will be permitted at all times. Arrangements will be in place to guide pedestrians and cyclists through the works.

Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said “I would like to thank the local community in advance for their patience while this vital work is undertaken. Improving visibility at this part of the A9 will enhance safety for all road users.

“We have scheduled the works to take place overnight, to minimise inconvenience.”
