Warning of A9 lane closure at the Slochd as part of dualling works
Motorists are being advised that one lane on the existing A9 dual carriageway starting from the Slochd will be closed for one night a week on Thursday (June 5).
This is to facilitate junction improvement works including site clearance activities to enable the proposed upgrade to the Tomatin south junction, and the construction of the proposed Clune bus turning circle on the U2856.
The work will take place overnight between the hours of 7.30pm and 6am.
The lane closure will begin north of the Slochd summit and will tie into the existing traffic management through the Findhorn Bridge for one night only.
A single lane of A9 will be maintained at all times for road users who are travelling north to minimise disruption.
Road users travelling south will not be affected.
A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: “To ensure the safety of our workforce, temporary traffic signals will also be in place for those accessing the U2856 for the evening of 5 June.
“Walkers and wheelers access will be maintained at all times as will access for emergency services.
“Road users are advised to approach the area with care and allow extra time for their journeys whilst these works are undertaken.”
The work is weather dependent and subject to change.
