The A9 Trunk Road (Brora) (Temporary Prohibition on Use of Road) Order 2023

The Scottish Ministers give notice that they have made the above Order under sections 2(1) and (2), 4(1) and 16A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, which will have the effect of temporarily prohibiting traffic on that length of the M9/A9 Edinburgh – Stirling – Thurso Trunk Road from its junction with Gower Street, Brora in a generally northwards direction to its junction with Academy Street, Brora, a distance of 700 metres or thereby.

The Order, which is required to facilitate the Brora Remembrance Service 2023 and to enable members of the public to participate in this event, will be in operation from 12th November 2023 until 13th November 2023. Although the prohibition of use order is for the whole day the actual closure of the A9 is likely to be in the region of 20 minutes and will only have effect in relation to such part or parts of the length of road as is indicated by the appropriate traffic signs.

The Order does not apply to vehicles being used in an emergency for fire brigade, ambulance, police or coastguard purposes or a vehicle being used for facilitating the holding of the relevant event.

Alternative Routes

The alternative routes for traffic during the prohibition will be signposted. Detailed descriptions can also be obtained at BEAR Scotland Limited, BEAR House, Inveralmond Road, Inveralmond Industrial Estate, Perth, PH1 3TW.
