Project Details
Description
BEAR Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to carry out resurfacing works on a stretch of the A9 trunk road. This RoD includes assessment for three separate schemes being carried out in proximity to each other: A9 River Garry to Shierglas, A9 Killiecrankie to House of Urrard, and A9 Killiecrankie Duals to Single Transition.
All three schemes consist of works of similar nature involving the replacement of the surface course of the carriageway over a total length of 1,035m, comprising three separate lengths of 450m, 235m, and 350m. The total area is approximately 0.72ha.
The works will consist of carriageway resurfacing (course and binder course depths are to be confirmed), with reinstatement of road markings and studs.
The works are currently programmed to begin in May 2025, with exact dates to be programmed individually per scheme. Works are expected to be completed over five nights or less for each scheme with working hours of 19:00-06:00. Traffic management (TM) is currently anticipated to consist of alternating nighttime lane closures with a convoy system and temporary traffic lights in place. There are no pedestrian or non-motorised user (NMU) routes located with connectivity to the schemes and as such no impacts on pedestrians or NMUs are anticipated.
