87 Progress Updates

The Scottish Government has updated its construction sector guidance to move to Phase 1 of its route map for moving out of lockdown, allowing the construction industry to proceed with planning and pre-start preparations.

Following the Scottish Government announcement at the end of March, our contractor Balfour Beatty implemented a managed shutdown of the site, in line with the Government guidelines including physical distancing.

Despite adverse weather creating challenging working conditions in February, bridge beam lifting operations at Gelly overbridge were successfully completed during two overnight closures of the A9 on 18 and 19 February

Significant progress made in constructing the project

The contractor on Transport Scotland’s A9 Berriedale Braes Improvement Project has helped schoolchildren in their bid to communicate with the future.

During Autumn 2019, the project moved into another exciting phase with the first layers of the new road being laid at the southern section of the site, between the Luncarty and Stanley junctions

We look back at what has been achieved on this section of the A9 Dualling programme, one year on from the award of the construction contract to dual the A9 from Luncarty to Pass of Birnam

The A9 Dualling: Luncarty to Pass of Birnam project welcomed 57 visitors to site as part of Doors Open Day 2019

The earthworks stage of the project continued throughout Summer 2019 with the majority of earthworks to the south of the new Stanley/Tullybelton junction nearing completion
