AS PART of the project to upgrade the traffic bottleneck at Longman roundabout in Inverness, the preferred option for the A9/A82 improvement scheme has been identified, comprising a grade separated junction with the A9 passing over the A82.
The proposal is that the existing Longman roundabout will be enlarged to incorporate two bridges with connections to the A82 and Stadium Road, all with a striking similarity to the now complete Raith Interchange on the M74 at Bothwell.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity Michael Matheson said: ‘As part of the Scottish Government’s commitment within the £315 million Inverness and Highland City-Region Deal, we are taking forward our plans to improve the traffic bottleneck at Longman.
