Morgan Sindall is to carry out vital infrastructure repair works at the Ruthven Bridge in Kingussie.
The B970 Road will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians from 29 July for six weeks.
The project includes an over £600,000 contract with Morgan Sindall, with 25% funding from Forestry Commission Scotland secured from the Scottish Timber Transport Scheme and the remainder of funding by The Highland Council.
The closure will affect part of the B970 Kingussie – Speybridge Road at Ruthven Bridge, commencing at its junction with the Shinty Pitch access road and its junction with the private road at Ruthven Steading.
Once the B970 road is closed, demolition of the existing bridge deck will begin.
This will be followed by preparation of the abutments and piers to receive the new deck, erection of the new deck and finally road surfacing, white lining and approach walls.
The B970 road will re-open on 11 September.
