Drivers are being advised of overnight traffic restrictions and a major road layout change as part of the ongoing A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy project.
From 17 November, temporary traffic lights and a convoy system will operate on the A9 south of the Tomatin north junction for around five nights.
Work will take place between 7pm and 6am each evening, excluding Sundays, to allow crews to safely carry out essential realignment works.
During these hours, vehicles will be stopped at temporary traffic signals and guided through the works in convoy for safety.
Transport Scotland confirmed that the realignment will prepare the route for the next stage of construction at Tomatin.
From 28 November, both lanes of the A9 will be temporarily realigned to allow work to begin on a new underpass.
The realignment is expected to remain in place until autumn 2026.
At the same time, the existing access junction to Tomatin will close permanently, with a new temporary junction opening approximately 400 metres south of the current one.
The new access will be clearly signposted for residents and visitors.
From the same date, bus users should also note permanent changes to local stops.
Both northbound and southbound bus stops on the A9 will be relocated to the bus turning circle near Tomatin Distillery.
This change affects all services that previously stopped on the A9, including the 37 and the Millburn Academy school bus.
The X37 service will no longer use the turning circle and will continue directly to Carrbridge and Aviemore.
A Transport Scotland spokesperson said the temporary measures are essential to ensure safety while progress continues on one of Scotland’s most significant road upgrades.
The A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy project is part of the long-term plan to dual the A9 between Perth and Inverness, improving journey times, safety, and connectivity across the Highlands.
Motorists are advised to plan ahead, allow extra time for journeys, and follow all signage and convoy instructions.
