Overnight traffic management on the A9 at Lynebeg and Daviot plus traffic management changes from Friday 23 October

Road users are advised that overnight traffic management will be in place on the A9 as part of the A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy project while we prepare to transfer traffic onto the new northbound carriageway.

To allow final preparation works to be carried out safely close to the A9 carriageway, temporary traffic signals and convoy working will be in place north of the Lynebeg junction from 7pm on Wednesday 21 October until 6am on Thursday 22 October. These preparation works are required prior to transferring traffic onto the new northbound carriageway.

A second night of traffic management will be required from 7pm on Thursday 22 October until 6am on Friday 23 October. During this time, two sets of temporary traffic signals and convoy working will be in operation on the A9. One will be located just north of the Lynebeg junction and the second will be approximately 3km further north at Daviot, near the northern end of the Tomatin to Moy project.

Road users will be stopped at the temporary traffic signals and guided through short lane closures by convoy before continuing their journey at the signed speed limit.

From Friday 23 October, northbound and southbound traffic will be transferred onto the new northbound carriageway. Traffic will join the new carriageway just north of the existing Lynebeg access junction and remain on the new alignment until reaching the existing dual carriageway at Daviot.

These arrangements will remain in place until the new dual carriageway is fully operational.

This change will have no impact on National Cycle Network Route 7, and pedestrian access route will remain in the same location however the pedestrian crossing point across the live carriageway will be adjusted slightly to reflect the new northbound carriageway location. 

We do not expect these works to cause significant disruption due to the overnight timing of the traffic management.

Please note that all works are weather dependent and may be subject to change.
