Transport Scotland are advising motorists of traffic restrictions on the southern section of the A9 motorway.

Restrictions will be in place between Birnam and Glen Garry as work is carried out for the A9 Dualling programme which begins on 24 August.

The constraints are necessary to enable critical ground investigations to be carried out on single carriageway sections of the existing A9 as the dualling proposals are progressed.


Detailed ground investigation works are to be carried out for approximately four months at a number of locations between Birnam and Glen Garry starting on 24 August.

The traffic management arrangements will include short alternate single file traffic sections controlled by temporary traffic signals, with the management moved along the route as work progresses.

Ground investigations are also currently taking place on the A9 between Dalnaspidal and Kincraig.

These works are expected to be completed by the end of October.
