The project will see almost two kilometres of carriageway resurfaced north of Braemore, between Braemore Hall and Letters Junction, creating a smoother and safer journey for motorists.
The project is set to begin on Wednesday 07 July and is programmed to take seven days to complete. The surfacing improvements will take place between 7am and 7pm each day. No work is programmed for Saturday or Sunday.

To keep roadworkers as well as road users safe during the project, a 10mph convoy traffic management system will be in place over the extent of the project during working hours. Traffic management will be removed outwith working hours, however a 30mph speed limit and warning signs will be in place as traffic will be travelling over a temporary surface.
Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland's North West Representative, said: "This £245,000 resurfacing project will upgrade the existing road surface on the A9 north of Braemore, greatly improving the quality and safety for road users.
"The traffic management is essential for everyone's safety however we've taken steps to minimise disruption for motorists as much as possible during the improvements, including avoiding working at the weekend.
"We thank motorists for their patience in advance and would also encourage them to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information."
