There are warnings of possible delays for motorists on a section of the A95 west of Congash Farm by Cromdale next week.
The carriageway is to benefit from surfacing improvements with work set to get under way on Monday at 8am.
Ross bosses have said the improvements will address defects in the road surface on the A95 near Cromdale.
The work on the so-called whisky road is expected to take place over five days.
The improvements will be carried out between 8am and 5.30pm each day with surfacing due to be completed by 5.30pm on Friday 29 April.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers as well as motorists, temporary traffic signals with a 10mph convoy system will be in place during working hours.
The convoy system will be removed out with working hours, however, due to the nature of the works, temporary traffic signals and a single lane closure may be left in place over some nights.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Unit Representative, said: “This surfacing project near Cromdale has been designed to improve the general condition and safety of this section of the A95 for motorists.
“The traffic management is essential to ensure the safety of both roadworkers and motorists.
"There may be some delays but our teams will do all they can to complete the scheme as safely and quickly as possible.
“We thank motorists for the patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential improvements on the A95.
"We encourage them to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
