ABERDEENSHIRE- NEW TRANSPORT MINISTER DEREK MACKAY TO KICK OFF A96 INVERAMSAY BRIDGE WORKS

Mr Mackay will be joined by representatives from Balfour Beatty, the firm appointed to deliver the improvement scheme.

The Inveramsay Bridge improvements will reduce the likelihood of bridge strikes by realigning the A96 to avoid the low headroom bridge and improve traffic flow through the area by allowing 2-way traffic on the trunk road without the need for the traffic signals currently in place.
