Motorists have been warned that one of the busiest junctions in Inverness will be closed to traffic for four nights from Sunday.
The Aberdeen-bound A96 junction at the Raigmore Interchange will be shut between 8pm and 6am during the upgrade work.
Drivers face a three-mile diversion via the B9006 Culloden Road and Tower Road, before re-joining the A96 at Smithton Roundabout.
The £35,000 project will involve laying high-friction surfacing to improve grip on the eastbound junction, extending to a point beyond the railway bridge.
It will also include the installation of new signs and marker posts to highlight the bend on approach to this exit to help improve road safety.
Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland’s north-east representative, said: “Road safety is a top priority for both BEAR Scotland and Transport Scotland and this scheme, in upgrading the surfacing at this location along with the improvements to signage, is part of our commitment to that.
“The works are being carried out overnight to minimise delays. We would, however, encourage motorists to plan their journey in advance and allow some extra time.”
Motorists were already facing disruption in the city with Millburn level crossing to close from noon on Saturday for three days.
The closure, which will last until 6am next Tuesday, will enable essential maintenance to be carried out by Network Rail.
It means that drivers will not be able to access Harbour Road from Millburn roundabout, which could result in more vehicles than usual travelling through the city centre.
Meanwhile, delays are also expected at Leachkin Road in the Highland capital starting from Monday.
The resurfacing work, being carried out by Highland Council, is due to take between three and five days to complete.
The section of road to be resurfaced starts at its junction with Lomond Way and extends for about half-a-mile to its junction with the access to “Croft No 9”.
Highland Council said: “The works will be programmed to avoid impacting upon peak time traffic flows, and traffic will be convoyed through the works area.
“Motorists are advised to expect some delays which the council hopes to keep to a minimum.”
