THE SCOTTISH Government has said it will invest around £5m in additional road safety measures for the A9 over the next two years.
This will include enhanced road markings, illuminated road studs and improvements to highlight single carriageways and the transitions at dualled sections.
Minister for Transport Jenny Gilruth said variable message signs will also be ‘deployed along the route’.
She said: “This funding will provide a package of targeted measures, including road improvements and marketing for delivery between now and 2025.”
More than £430m has been spent to date delivering the dualling programme, she explained, and added: “We will continue our work to finalise the short-term interventions for the A9 into the next financial year and beyond, with an intended programme of work valued at £5 million.”
