• Bridge deck refurbishment works to move to the southbound carriageway

• Contraflow system in place for duration of works

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, have been carrying out essential maintenance work on the northbound carriageway of the A9 over Findhorn Bridge near Tomatin since Monday 28 April.

Repairs on the southbound carriageway are set to get underway from Sunday 10 August with works expected to be completed by Sunday 14 September.

The works involve bridge deck concrete repairs, replacing the waterproofing system and resurfacing the road.

The 30mph contraflow system currently in place will be switched over on Sunday 10 August so all traffic will be running on the northbound carriageway across the bridge.

Recovery vehicles will remain on site whilst the contraflow system is in place to lessen delays from broken down vehicles or any incidents that may occur.

Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said, “The first stage of the works on the northbound carriageway have progressed well with only minor traffic delays. The next stage will see the works on the southbound carriageway get underway in a similar manner.

“We thank all road users and the local community for their patience.”
