A95 to be closed overnight by Drumullie for nearly three weeks
Amey is warning of overnight road closures for nearly three weeks on the A95 to the north of Drumillie from this Sunday.
The £348,000 scheme will involve resurfacing around 900 metres of the whisky road carriageway.
The diversion could potentially be around 18 miles for some motorists who get caught-out but there will be traffic amnesties overnight.
Work will take place between 100 metres south of Gartenbeg and 420 metres south of Tullochgorum Lodge.
Amey - who are carrying out the works on behalf of Transport Scotland - said the disruption is expected to last until Friday 20 June.
A spokesperson for the contractor said: “The essential maintenance will be carried out under overnight closures between 7.30pm and 6.30am each night to ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists and to minimise disruption to road users and the community.”
There will be no overnight works on Friday 6 June and Saturday 7 June, and Friday 13 and Saturday 14 June.
The following diversion will be in place during the overnight road closures.
Southbound traffic can leave the A95 at Dulnain Bridge, turning right onto the A938 and continuing to Carrbridge then turning left onto the B9153 and rejoining the A95 at Kinveachy. Northbound traffic can take the route in reverse.
In addition, amnesties to allow traffic through the works area will take place at 8.30pm, 9.30pm, 10.30pm, 11.30pm, 1.30am, 3am and 5am each night.
Traffic will be allowed through one direction at a time so delays are possible.
All traffic management is scheduled to be removed by 6.30am on June 20.
The spokesperson said: “The resurfacing will benefit more than 4,500 vehicles who use this route each day, creating a smoother ride for motorists and reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.”
The timings are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if conditions are not favourable.
