ROAD maintenance work is set to begin on the A9 near Latheronwheel next week.
A £105,000 scheme by Transport Scotland will see improvements to a section of road approximately two miles south of Latheronwheel.
BEAR Scotland, which looks after trunk roads on behalf of Transport Scotland, says it will create a smoother and safer surface.
The improvements are scheduled to start on Tuesday, September 24, and will take up to four days to complete. The project will take place between 7am and 7pm each day with work expected to be completed by 7pm on Friday.
Temporary traffic lights and a 10mph convoy system will be in place during the project. Traffic management will be removed outwith working hours to keep disruption to a minimum, but a speed restriction of 30 mph will remain in place as traffic will be running over a temporary surface.
Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s north west representative, said. “These works will greatly improve the road surface on this section of the A9 near Latheronwheel, creating a safer and smoother journey for motorists.
“We have taken steps to help minimise disruption for road users as much as possible by avoiding working at the weekend and our teams will do all they can to complete the project as quickly and safely as possible.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance and would encourage them to plan their journeys before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
