BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is replacing the central reserve safety barriers on the southbound split-level section of the A9 at Dalnaspidal.

Work starts on Monday, 20 October, and is scheduled to take around 30 days, running from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.

The A9 will remain open during the works. A lane two (outside lane) closure and a temporary reduced speed limit will be in place 24 hours a day to maintain safety for both road workers and motorists.

Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland's North West Representative, said: "This project will improve safety for road users along this route by updating the barrier system in the central reserve area.

"Our team sought to minimise disruption by scheduling works out with the peak tourist season and prior to the winter period where the site is prone to severe and sudden winter conditions. We are committed to finishing the project as quickly and safely as possible.

"We thank motorists for their patience in advance and would also encourage them to plan their journeys ahead by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information."
