Roadworks on A9 at Drumochter for next fortnight
Essential improvements worth £350,000 are underway on the A9 at Drumochter.
The works will continue for two weeks and will see just under a kilometre stretch of the southbound dual carriageway resurfaced.
It is the second phase in upgrading the road surface at this section of the A9, and follows on from previous works carried out on the carriageway in June.
For safety, a 10mph convoy system will be in place between 7am and 7pm each day to ensure protection of the work force as well as motorists during the improvements.
The convoy will be lifted outside of working hours, although a lane closure will remain in place with no works planned for Saturday or Sundays.
Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s North West representative, said: "We’re pleased to be continuing with resurfacing this section of the A9 at Drumochter which will create a smoother and safer journey for motorists.
"We had planned the work to be split over two phases to minimise overall impact to motorists, and have taken further steps to limit disruption by avoiding working at weekends.
"Our teams will look to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.
"We thank motorists for their patience in advance and encourage them to plan ahead by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information before setting off."
