Two public exhibition events are set to take place later this month on plans for a link road in Inverness.

The A9/A96 Inshes to Smithton scheme will be on display to the public at the exhibitions on 25 and 26 September.

Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity Michael Matheson said: "As part of the Scottish Government's commitment within the £315 million Inverness and Highland City-Region Deal, we are progressing our plans for a single carriageway road connecting Inshes and Smithton in the Highland capital.

"Since we identified the preferred option for the scheme in late 2017, our design consultants have progressed the detailed design and assessment of the preferred option, which included consideration of all the feedback received, and we are now able to publish draft Orders for this scheme.

"I would encourage anyone with an interest to attend the exhibitions on 25 and 26 September or view the draft Orders and Environmental Impact Assessment Report on the Transport Scotland website."
