Project Details

Description

BEAR Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to carry out resurfacing works on a section of the A9 trunk road east of Newtonmore (see Figures 1 and 2 below). The works involve the resurfacing of the A9 northbound (NB) and southbound (SB) carriageways at the scheme extents noted below.

These resurfacing works are proposed to be undertaken within the 2025/26 Financial Year and are currently programmed to begin on the 23^rd of June 2025 for a duration of 6 nights, with working hours between 19.00-06.00. Changes to the programme may see changes to these exact dates/durations.

Traffic management (TM) will consist of single lane closures with two-way temporary traffic lights and a convoy system in place (between 19.00-06.00). There is one local land access point which will be accommodated within TM if required. There are no other access points, junctions, parking facilities or pedestrian requirements within the scheme extents and any non-motorised road users (NMRU’s) will be accommodated within TM.

Location

The scheme is located on a semi-rural stretch of the A9 east of Newtonmore and approximately 4km south of Kingussie in the Highland Council Local Authority area (national grid reference (NGR): NN 71240 97428 - NN 73072 98370).
