Phase two of dual carriageway improvements for the A9 are now set to get underway earlier than planned and will start from Sunday, September 8 September.

BEAR Scotland is set to start the second phase of essential surfacing improvements on the northbound dual carriageway of the A9 just north of Slochd to Findhorn Bridge.

This phase will continue over 18 nights with all works due to be completed by 6am on the morning of Wednesday, October 2.

Single lane closures will be in place on the northbound carriageway, with a convoy system in place between 7pm and 6am to control traffic through the site.

When operatives will be working on lane two northbound, lane two southbound will also be closed at nights for safety purposes.

This second phase, a continuation of work carried out in June and August, will complete surfacing in both lanes and provide fresh road markings.

Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West representative, said: “This crucial surfacing project on the A9 will continue work to fix existing defects and significantly enhance the driving experience for all road users.

“We have accelerated these works due to the impending dualling between Tomatin and Moy.

“Our teams are committed to executing these works quickly with safety as our top priority. We extend our gratitude to the local community and road users for their patience while we complete the improvements.

“To minimise delays, we recommend that motorists plan their journeys in advance by consulting the Traffic Scotland website for real-time travel updates.”

Access through the works site for emergency services will be maintained at all times.
