SCHEME EXTENSION
Due to the impact of adverse weather, there will be additional nights of convoy working from Sunday 3rd November to Friday 8th November in order to complete the scheme.
The convoy working will take place between 7.30pm and 6.30am each night.
Traffic management is scheduled to be removed by 6.30am on Saturday 9th November.
Please note, there will be no overnight working on Friday 1st November and Saturday 2nd November.
The A96 carriageway at Huntly is set to benefit from a £660,000 investment that will deliver improvements to more than 1220 metres of the road surface.
Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out overnight work on the A96 trunk road to the east of Huntly between Thursday 17th October and Saturday 2nd November.
Work will take place from north of Gartly Junction to the A97 junction for Aberchirder and Banff.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists, the essential maintenance will be carried out under overnight convoy between 7.30pm and 6.30am.
There will be no overnight work on each Friday and Saturday during the work period, Friday 18th/Saturday 19th October, and Friday 25th/Saturday 26th October.
Traffic management is scheduled to be removed by 6.30am on Saturday 2nd November.
When works are taking place across the A97 junction traffic for the A97 eastwards will be diverted via the A920 at Colpy, heading east and turning left at Wartle onto the B9001. Traffic can then continue on the B9001 to Bogniebrae and turn left onto the A97.
Traffic from the A97 westwards will diverted via the above diversion but in reverse.
The resurfacing will benefit more than 8,700 vehicles who use this route each day, creating a smoother ride for motorists and reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.
Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
