BEAR Scotland Announces A9 Resurfacing Works

BEAR Scotland has announced a programme of essential surfacing improvement works on the A9, north of the Drumochter dual carriageway at Dalnaspidal, set to get underway on Monday 28th November 2022.

The project will see 750m of road resurfaced, creating a smoother and safer road for motorists.

The improvements will take up to 5 days to complete, between the hours of 7am and 6pm each day, with surfacing due to be completed by 12pm on Friday 2nd November, weather permitting.


To ensure the safety of road workers and motorists, the works will be undertaken under 10mph convoy with lane closures and temporary traffic lights during working hours.

The road will be open at night from 6pm to keep disruption to a minimum, with a speed restriction of 30mph in place as traffic will be running over a temporary surface. Access through the works site for emergency services will be maintained at all times.

Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland's North West Representative said: "This surfacing project on the A9 will help address defects and greatly improve the surface for motorists.

"Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible, and we thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance while we complete these projects. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information."
