Warning of A9 roadwork delays
Motorists using the A9 north of Dunkeld are being warned of delays due to a £285,000 resurfacing programme which gets underway next week.
The Transport Scotland funded works will begin next Tuesday for two weeks and will see improvements made to just over a kilometre of the carriageway approximately two miles north of Dunkeld.
Works will take place overnight from 7pm until 7am each night from Tuesday to Thursday in the first week, with no works planned on Friday and Saturday nights.
Then Sunday to Thursday during the second week with works scheduled to be complete by October 13.
Temporary traffic lights and a 10mph convoy system will be in place during the works but will be removed outside of working hours to help keep disruption to a minimum.
However, a speed restriction of 30mph will remain in place as traffic will be running on a temporary surface.
Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s North West Unit Representative said: "These essential resurfacing works will upgrade this section of the A9 to the north of Dunkeld, creating a smoother and safer journey for motorists.
"We’ve planned these works to take place overnight and avoid working on the busier Friday and Saturday nights to limit the impact to motorists as much as possible.
"We would encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information and to allow extra time for travel."
