Significant progress made in constructing the project

The contractor on Transport Scotland’s A9 Berriedale Braes Improvement Project has helped schoolchildren in their bid to communicate with the future.

During Autumn 2019, the project moved into another exciting phase with the first layers of the new road being laid at the southern section of the site, between the Luncarty and Stanley junctions

We look back at what has been achieved on this section of the A9 Dualling programme, one year on from the award of the construction contract to dual the A9 from Luncarty to Pass of Birnam

The A9 Dualling: Luncarty to Pass of Birnam project welcomed 57 visitors to site as part of Doors Open Day 2019

The earthworks stage of the project continued throughout Summer 2019 with the majority of earthworks to the south of the new Stanley/Tullybelton junction nearing completion

Volunteer landscaping works to improve the school’s garden area, making it more accessible and attractive for students and their families

Since the construction contract was awarded in September 2018, preparatory works including design, and construction works have progressed well during the initial months to June 2019

This approximately 32km length of the project represents around 55 per cent of the entire AWPR/B-T project and links to key junctions between Stonehaven in the south, Craibstone to the north and Charleston to the east
