Transport Scotland has announced details of a roadshow to gauge the views of local communities on the A9 dualling programme.
Transport Minister Keith Brown has been encouraging the public to give feedback when the exhibitions get underway next month.
Mr Brown said: "Less than a year ago this Scottish Government gave the first ever commitment to dual the A9 between Perth and Inverness by 2025. Already we are seeing progress, with preparatory work underway and consultants appointed for the preliminary engineering and environmental work.
"Equally we are making real strides towards making the Kincraig to Dalraddy and Luncarty to Pass of Birnam sections ready for construction. We aim to keep up momentum by giving the public a chance to comment at the early stages of this vital project for the Highlands and Islands and Scotland as a whole.
"That is why I encourage everyone with an interest to come along and help ensure local needs are reflected as we develop the dualling programme."
