Amey is undertaking overnight surfacing improvements on the A96 near Balloch, to the east of Inverness, from Tuesday 3rd December to Tuesday 10th December.
The £118,000 project, which Amey is undertaking on behalf of Transport Scotland, will address defects on approximately 1170 metres of the A96 trunk road.
Work will take place between the B9039 at Newton of Petty and 160 metres north of Barn Church Road.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists the essential maintenance will be carried out under overnight road closures between 7.30pm and 6.30am
There will be no works on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th December. All traffic management is scheduled to be removed by 6.30am on Tuesday 10th December.
The following diversions will be in place during the overnight road closures.
Westbound traffic will take the A939 at Nairn and turn right onto the B9101 before continuing on the B9090 to Clephanton. Traffic can then turn left onto the B9091 and continue on the B9006 at Croy, following the route to Inshes Roundabout at Inverness. They can then take the fifth exit from the roundabout onto Sir Walter Scott Drive to join the northbound A9 towards Raigmore Interchange.
Eastbound traffic will follow the A9 south and exit onto the B9006 Culloden Road then follow the above route in reverse.
There will be local access between Inverness and Barn Church Road. Traffic for the B9039 may use other local routes.
The resurfacing will benefit more than 18,000 vehicles who use this route each day, creating a smoother ride for motorists and reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.
Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
