Residents are being invited to view plans for the multi-million pound Longman Junction Improvement scheme in Inverness.

Public exhibitions to let locals and road users view and comment on the options being developed will be held at Inverness Town House on 29 May and Inverness Caledonian Thistle's stadium on 30 May.

The scheme aims to upgrade the road network on the A9 trunk road, delivering a grade separation of the A9/A82 Longman junction and the A9/A96 Inshes to Smithton Link Road to improve congestion and accessibility to Inverness.

Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said: ""Improving the traffic bottleneck at Longman is a key priority of the Scottish Government and we have been working hard to develop possible options for this important junction and we can now let the public see and comment on a series of options.

"I would encourage anyone with an interest to come along to one of the venues on 29 or 30 May to view our plans and to have an opportunity to discuss them with our team and provide comments.

"The vital feedback received will then be taken into account as we look to identify a preferred option early next year."
