Motorists travelling on the A9 near Tomatin and Moy are being warned to expect short delays later this month as work continues on the dualling project between Tomatin and Moy.

Temporary traffic signals will be introduced at several locations between 13 and 24 July to allow the installation of beams at the new Lynebeg and Tomatin underpasses.

The traffic management measures are needed to enable large construction vehicles to transport and position beams safely as part of the ongoing infrastructure programme.

Between 13 and 17 July, traffic controls will be in place at Lynebeg.

Drivers may encounter temporary traffic signals on the A9 at the Tomatin North Junction, where northbound traffic will be stopped to allow construction vehicles carrying beams to access the site.

Traffic controls will also operate on the B9154 Moy Road near the new railway bridge, with vehicles travelling in both directions halted temporarily while construction traffic manoeuvres into the Lynebeg underpass site.

Further traffic management will be introduced at Tomatin between 20 and 24 July.

Temporary traffic signals will operate on the new Tomatin Link Road to allow large vehicles to transport beams safely across the carriageway.

Signals will also be used at the A9 Tomatin North Junction, stopping traffic on the trunk road and vehicles leaving Tomatin to permit construction traffic to exit safely onto the southbound A9.

The temporary signals will operate using an all red phase lasting up to three minutes at a time.

A maximum of 20 activations per day is expected between 8am and 7pm.

Staff will be present on site throughout the works to help reduce disruption and keep traffic moving where possible.

Project officials say the measures have been carefully planned and do not expect the traffic controls to cause significant delays because of their limited duration and infrequent use.

Pedestrian access and emergency service access will be maintained throughout the works.

The installation of the beams marks another visible milestone in the long running A9 dualling programme, which aims to improve safety, reliability and journey times along one of the Highlands’ most important transport corridors.

Drivers are advised that planned dates may be subject to change depending on weather conditions and should check the latest updates before travelling.
