Road widening on the A9 requires a 40mph speed limit from Tomatin to Moy until 2028, aiming to protect drivers and workers.
A 40mph speed limit goes into effect. They expect it to last until 2028, when the road widening should finish. Speed cameras are coming, and lanes will get narrower during the project.
Expect temporary traffic lights, and convoys will guide drivers at night. This happens for ten nights, with work running Sunday to Friday from 7:30 PM until 6:00 AM. There is no work on Saturday nights.
People can still walk through the area, and public transit will keep running. Buses will still stop at Tomatin junction, including both sides of the road.
Fiona Hyslop talked about safety, stating that the lower speed limit is vital. It protects drivers and construction workers. She asks drivers to plan trips and watch the speed signs.
Dominick Cafferkey asks drivers to be careful and follow signs. He thanks people for their patience, acknowledging that road work causes some delays.
The A9 project widens the road, covering 83 miles from Perth to Inverness. The Killicrankie to Glen Garry section should finish by 2035.
The project costs about £3.7 billion. Officials intend for it to improve safety, reduce travel times, and help the economy.
