Public Events To Be Held On New A96 Dualling Options

Construction News Image
A number of public events are to be held on the initial dualling options for the 26 mile section of the A96 between East of Huntly and Aberdeen.

The exhibitions, taking place on the week beginning 08 October, will allow the public to see the proposed options and give feedback.

The identification of these options follows initial design and assessment work along with consideration of feedback received to date.

Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity Michael Matheson said: "The Scottish Government has given a clear commitment to dual the A96 which will see delivery of around 88 miles of upgraded road between Inverness and Aberdeen, a huge task but one we are committed to delivering.

"As part of that work, we are taking forward the design work for the stretch of the route between East of Huntly and Aberdeen and next month we will let people see the options we have developed for this challenging section of the A96.

"I would encourage anyone with an interest in this scheme to visit one of the exhibitions from 08-11 October and give us their views. The vital feedback we receive will help inform the design and assessment work as we look to identify a preferred route option next year."
