A9 motorists warned speed cameras will enforce roadworks last three years
Major roadworks on the A9 which are set to last for three years get under way from the start of next week.
They are part of the long awaited Tomatin-Moy dualling.
A temporary 40mph speed limit will be in place from Monday and is expected to remain until the dual carriageway becomes operational in Spring 2028.
Road chiefs have said the restriction will be enforced 24 hours a day by temporary safety cameras to ‘encourage compliance’.
As part of the restrictions, temporary traffic signals and convoy working will also be in place from Monday for around 10 nights between 7.30pm and 6am with no works on Saturday nights.
The restrictions are required to enable the installation of temporary barriers to reduce lane width and create working space for contractors.
A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: “Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times, and public transportation links will remain active along the route with bus stops remaining in use both northbound and southbound at Tomatin junction.
“Road users should note that during the operation of these measures laybys within the project corridor will be closed to the public.
“There will be specific laybys available to vehicles carrying large loads.
“Road users are advised to approach the area with care and allow extra time for their journeys whilst these works are undertaken.”
All works are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
A total of 9.6km (six miles) of the A9 between Tomatin and Moy is being upgraded to dual carriageway as part of a wider programme to improve the infamous road between Perth and Inverness.
