Motorists using the A9 in proximity to the Inshes and Bogbain junction are set to benefit from drainage improvements worth £10,000, BEAR Scotland has said – though there will be some inconvenience while the work is carried out.
Works are set to get under way on Tuesday (April 5) and are expected to take two nights.
The works are to take place between 8pm and 6am each night, and are expected to be completed on Thursday (April 7) morning.
This project follows on from works already carried out in the area in March.
To ensure the safety of road workers and motorists, the southbound on-slips to the A9 that are associated with the Inshes and Bogbain Junctions will be closed when works are being undertaken.
A signed diversion route will be in place to inform road users when works are being progressed.
During the works at Inshes Junction, road users will access the A9 southbound using the Bogbain Junction, having been diverted via Culloden Road and the B9177.
Similarly, when works are being undertaken at the Bogbain Junction, road users will be diverted via the B9177 and Culloden Road to access the A9 southbound via Inshes Junction.
The slip road closures will be removed outwith working hours.
Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said: “This second phase of drainage improvements associated with the A9 at the Inshes and Bogbain Junctions will ensure the junctions remain at the highest of standards.
“The slip road closures planned are essential to ensure the safety of road workers and road users whilst works are in progress, however we have planned for the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption as much as possible. Our teams will do all they can to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance and would also encourage them to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information.”
