Investigatory work near Blair Atholl will be carried out using ropes on the existing rock outcrops next to the A9. The two-week project will get underway on 22 May. Traffic management will be in place.

A spokesperson for Transport Scotland said the work is necessary to gather information for the stretch of road ahead of the next phase on the £3 billion A9 Dualling programme.

They said: "We apologise for any inconvenience these works will cause and would thank road users and local communities in advance for their patience over the next few weeks. The trunk road operating company will closely monitor the operation of the traffic management measures to ensure that delays are kept to a minimum."
