Motorists in the Highlands will get a glimpse of the plans to dual the notorious A9 Inverness-Perth road next week.

Transport Scotland will put proposals for new junctions in the Dalwhinnie area on display in the village.

The Scottish Government has committed to dualling the road from Inverness to Perth by 2025, as part of a £3billion project.

Hopes are high that construction of the five mile Dalraddy-Kincraig stretch of the road will start in summer and be open around 18 months later.

Preparation work is ongoing for the rest of the 80-mile route.

Infrastructure Secretary Keith Brown said: “The A9 dualling programme is the largest transport investment in Scotland’s history, some 80 miles of new upgraded dualled road, and we are pressing ahead in earnest with the preparation work to deliver it – the first government ever to commit to doing so.

“Work across the scheme is moving apace with construction expected to start on dualling the first section between Kincraig and Dalraddy this summer.

“The necessary design work is also progressing elsewhere on the project, with the latest options for junction and access layouts at Dalwhinnie being firmed up. These early designs form part of wider plans being taken forward to dual the six mile stretch from Dalwhinnie to Crubenmore, building on preparation work being taken forward across the entire scheme.”

The initial designs will be on at Dalwhinnie Village Hall next Monday from noon until 8.30pm, and the next day from 10am-4pm.
