Traffic Signals on A9 Tomatin to Moy
Approach with care on A9 towards Tomatin and Moy as traffic management layouts change ahead of major construction works
Road users are advised to approach with care as traffic management layouts change on the A9 throughout the Tomatin to Moy project corridor from Thursday 3 April.
Overnight temporary traffic signals
Overnight temporary traffic signals on the A9 and the local road network, which commenced on 10 March, will continue throughout March and April.
A9 existing dual carriageway lane closures from Thursday 3 April 2025
Closure of lane two on the existing A9 dual carriageway for approximately 1km at the northern and 3km at the southern ends of the project will be implemented from Thursday 3 April 2025 for approximately 15 days. These closures are required to allow the contractor to safely put traffic into contraflow entering the project works area. Work will take place during normal site working hours, however, the lane closures will remain in place 24 hours a day.
From Friday 25th April, contraflow running will remain in place on these areas of the existing dual carriageway for approximately 1km at the northern and 3km at the southern ends of the project. The contraflow will then transition into the narrowed lanes on the single carriageway along the project corridor before rejoining the dual carriageway via contraflow.
Temporary roundabout at Invereen
To safely manage the interface between road users and site traffic at the main site compound, a temporary roundabout will be constructed on the A9 at Invereen. A speed restriction of 30mph will be implemented on the approach to and from the roundabout. A temporary diversion of the NCN7 non-motorised user route will also be instigated to direct users safely around the site compound before rejoining the NCN7.
Works will predominantly take place offline of the A9, however, the use of temporary traffic signals will be required at various times to allow for surfacing and lining works to safely take place on the temporary roundabout.
It is expected that the roundabout will become operational on Thursday 24 April, at which point the 30mph restriction on approach will also be implemented and will remain in place for the duration that the roundabout is in use.
Pedestrian and emergency access across the project corridor will be maintained at all times and public transportation links will remain active along the route. Road users are advised to approach the area with care and allow extra time for their journeys whilst works are undertaken.
All works are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable. Please refer to the Traffic Scotland website for live updates.
