Speed restrictions are to be put in place on a section of one of Scotland’s roads for more than a week.

Motorists on part of the A9 will be restricted to 10mph from Tuesday 26 May until Monday 8 June to allow essential improvements to be carried out.

The roadworks are being put in place on a stretch of road from the River Garry to Shierglas, west of Blair Atholl.

The works will take place between 7pm and 6am each night, with completion scheduled for Monday 8 June. A reduced speed limit of 10mph will be in place, with all traffic guided through the works by convoy during operational hours.

Two-way traffic lights will be in place outside of working hours to help limit traffic build-up in the area.

Speed restrictions will also be in operation during the day, as traffic will be running on a temporary surface with no road markings.

Access through the work site for emergency services will be maintained at all times.

Steven Taylor, BEAR Scotland’s North West representative, said: “These works will help restore the road surface on this section of the A9, improving driving conditions.

“Our teams are committed to carrying out these works quickly, with safety as our top priority. We extend our gratitude to the local community and road users for their patience during this time.

“To minimise delays, we recommend that motorists plan their journeys in advance by consulting the Traffic Scotland website for real-time travel updates.”
