A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy - planned bridge beam deliveries and installations

Road users are advised of planned bridge beam deliveries and installations associated with the A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy project in September 2026. These will take place between Wednesday 2 and Thursday 4 September, and between Tuesday 8 and Thursday 10 September, and, if required, on the Friday 11 September.

Construction of the new Dalmagarry bridge involves the transportation of large beams to the new structure from a holding area in Tomatin, which will require the use of temporary traffic signals and a Police convoy to allow large vehicles carrying the beams to safely travel through the site and access the structure.

All deliveries will occur at approximately 12 noon, apart from the delivery on Thursday 4 September, which will take place at approximately 2pm.

Road users travelling on the A9 may encounter simultaneous temporary traffic signals at three locations to allow these beams to travel to the Dalmagarry structure.

  • Tomatin North Junction (A9 northbound): northbound traffic will be temporarily stopped to allow large construction vehicles to transport beams safely to the Dalmagarry structure.
  • Moy South Junction (B9154/A9): southbound traffic will be temporarily stopped to allow large construction vehicles to reverse safely into position at the Dalmagarry structure.
  • Ruthven Road Junction with the A9: traffic will be temporarily controlled to allow large construction vehicles to transport beams safely between the junction and the Dalmagarry structure.

Signals in all locations will operate on an “all red” phase for up to fifteen minutes at a time, with a maximum of two activations per week. Due to being under Police Scotland convoy, this can occur anytime in a 24-hour period. Police and staff will be on site to help minimise disruption.

The images below outline the location of these temporary traffic signals.

Once the installation is complete, road users travelling southbound may encounter temporary traffic signals on the A9 at the B9154 Moy South junction for a maximum of 3 minutes to allow the large construction vehicle to safely leave the site and to travel northbound.

The image below outlines these measures.

Additionally, road users may experience overnight temporary traffic signals on the Dalmagarry realignment on Saturday 12 September at approximately midnight, stopping northbound and southbound traffic to allow for the first beam to be installed safely to the Dalmagarry structure, as it is in close proximity to the existing A9 carriageway. We anticipate that this will take place around midnight with an “all red” phase initiated for a maximum of 10 minutes on one occasion only.

These short, controlled stoppages are necessary to ensure that road users are kept safe due to the size of these beams, while keeping any impact on road users and journey times to a minimum.

We do not expect that these temporary traffic signals will result in significant disruption at either location, due to the timing of the works and their infrequent use.

Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times. Emergency vehicles will continue to have access through the site throughout the works.
