The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what assessment has been made of the impact of rerouting traffic from the Kessock Bridge onto the old A9 through Clachnaharry and Beauly on congestion in Inverness and the communities along the old A9 route.
The answer
During the resurfacing works, traffic flow will be restricted to one lane in each direction on the Kessock Bridge. Traffic modelling exercises have been carried out to assess the impact of the works on both the trunk road and local roads network. Workshops have also been held with the Highland Council to review the impact on the local roads network. Traffic will not be signed to follow the old A9 (A862), however some traffic is expected to divert along this route.
