Topographical surveys are to be carried out as part of the Longman Junction Improvement scheme in Inverness.

The studies will help inform design work for the development and work is scheduled to begin on Monday. 14 May.

The five-night scheme will be carried out on the central reservation of the A9 and A82 trunk roads on the approaches to Longman roundabout.

To carry out the surveys, some traffic management measures will be required with the outside lanes closed between the hours of 8 pm and 6 am to ensure the safety of road workers. The timing of the works has been planned to minimise any impact on road users.

A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "This topographical survey work is needed to get important information as we progress the design of the Longman Junction Improvement scheme.

"We apologise for any inconvenience these works will cause and would thank road users and local communities in advance for their patience during the works. The contractor will closely monitor the operation of the traffic management measures to ensure that delays are kept to a minimum.

"We would ask drivers to plan their journeys in advance using the Traffic Scotland website, twitter feed or Traffic Scotland radio."
