A9 South of Tain | Overnight Resurfacing
On behalf of Transport Scotland, BEAR Scotland will carry out resurfacing works on the A9 south of Tain, from Sunday 24 May.
The project will be carried out between the hours of 8pm and 6am each night and is expected to be complete by the morning of Friday 29 May, subject to weather conditions.
To protect roadworkers and motorists, a 10mph convoy system will operate under two-way traffic lights. Two-way traffic lights will also be in place during the day on Monday 25, Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 May. On Thursday 28 May, the road will be fully open during the day however, a speed restriction of 30mph will be in place as traffic will be running over a temporary surface.
Emergency service vehicles will be able to pass through the site throughout the working period.
Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing improvements to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
Steve Taylor, BEAR Scotland’s North West Design Manager, said: “This surfacing project on the A9 will fix existing problems in the carriageway and improve driving conditions for road users.
“Our teams will complete the works efficiently and safely. We’re grateful to the local community and road users for their patience while we complete these works. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
