Amey is undertaking essential overnight road safety improvements on the A96 at Seafield Roundabout in Inverness between Monday 20th February and Saturday 25th February.

The road safety work will benefit around 25,000 vehicles who use this route each day by resurfacing the roundabout circulatory and undertaking improvements to the road markings in the area.

The £110,000 project will be undertaken between 8pm-6am each night using an overnight road closure with a signed diversion route.

There will be a full overnight road closure of the A96 between Raigmore Interchange and Smithton Roundabout during the works.

The diversion route will see A96 eastbound traffic diverted from Raigmore Interchange towards Culloden Road, then following Tower Road and Barn Church Road before re-joining the A96 at Smithton Roundabout. The route will be reversed for westbound traffic.

Inverness Shopping Park on Eastfield Way will operate as normal between the hours of 6am and 8pm. Restricted access will be provided to these locations during the overnight works (8pm to 6am).

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.

The work, which Amey is undertaking on behalf of Transport Scotland, is scheduled to be completed by 6am on Saturday 25th February.

Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
