The commuters, described as the “foundation of the local economy”, were urged to protest before it is too late. Transport Scotland is to resurface the Kessock Bridge – which connects the Highland capital to the north and carries the A9 Inverness to Thurso road – in two phases.

The work is due to start in February and will be completed by June, 2014.
