Project Details
Description
Bear Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to carry out resurfacing works on a stretch of the A9 carriageway; A9 Dalwhinnie Junction Approaches. The works include milling and replacing bituminous material to mixed-depth inlay and reinstatement of road markings following completion of resurfacing works.
The scheme comprises of a length of 481m, with an approximate area of 0.510ha.
The main plant will include pavers, planers and rollers. A welfare unit with generator may be required on site and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) will be required for transport of materials and wastes.
The resurfacing procedure is as follows:
- Set up traffic management (TM) and mark out site.
- Mill out old surface course to various depths.
- Lay and roll new surface course.
- Roll surface and allow it to set.
- Mark out lining schedule on site
- Carry out lining/studding
- Remove TM and open road.
The works are scheduled to be completed within the 2026-27 financial year, currently due to be completed in October 2026. The works will be completed during nighttime hours (19:00-06:00) for a total duration of 2 nights.
TM will consist of lane closure with three-way temporary traffic lights and a convoy system in place. No TM will be required during non-working hours (06:00-19:00). Access to nearby laybys and parking areas will be maintained as far as is practicable. Site access and plant storage will be located within TM. If there are changes to the programme, this could result in amendments to the exact TM requirements.
Location
The scheme is located on the A9 carriageway (northbound and southbound) at the A9 junction with the A889 in proximity to the village of Dalwhinnie in the Highland Council administrative area.
