These orders, for the £3 - £3.5 million A96 Threapland Junction improvements, will see over 1km of this vital trunk road upgraded to deliver real safety benefits.
Transport Scotland Project Director, Jo Blewett, said: “The A96 is an important strategic route between Aberdeen and Inverness and is vital for business and communities. This project will improve junction layouts while providing better visibility for drivers and reducing accidents in this area.

“Our design for this project has taken account of local opinion and ensures that there is minimal environmental impact, particularly in relation to the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) at Loch Oire.
“This upgrade is one of a number of improvement measures targeted at achieving safer journeys on the A96. The Scheme will complement the £31.5m works currently underway to provide a bypass at Fochabers and Mosstodloch.”
