MOTORISTS using Scotland's longest trunk road are facing disruption until early January as dualling work progresses on a section of the A9 between Birnam and the Tay Crossing, Perth and Kinross.
Traffic restrictions will be implemented from Wednesday, October 1, with the work expected to take 15 weeks to complete, finishing in early 2015. No work will be carried out over the Christmas and New Year period.
Ground investigation work will also take place on a separate section of the A9 between Kincraig and Dalraddy, just south of Aviemore, the first part part of the route due to be dualled, from October 1 to October 12.
Traffic management arrangements will include contra-flow sections with temporary traffic signals.
Transport Scotland, the Scottish Government agency in charge of delivering the project, said it apologises in advance for any inconvenience caused and thanks road users and local communities for their patience.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
