A96 road surfacing improvements set to take place between Brodie and Auldearn

Amey will undertake surfacing improvements on a section of the A96 road.

The work will take place between Brodie and Auldearn from Sunday, November 2 to Friday, November 28.

The £860,000 project, which Amey is undertaking on behalf of Transport Scotland, will take place from approximately 500 metres west of Brodie to three kilometres east of Auldearn.

An Amey spokesperson said: “To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists the essential maintenance will be carried out under overnight convoy between 7.30pm and 6.30am.

“There will be no overnight work on each Saturday during the work period, Saturday, November 8, Saturday, November 15 and Saturday, November 22. There will also be no overnight work on Sunday, November 23.

“There is also the potential that temporary traffic lights will be required from Monday, November 3 to Thursday, November 6, and Monday, November 10 to Thursday, November 13, between 6.30am and 7.30pm to allow for the cooling of deeper sections of treatment.

“There may be delays of up to four minutes when the overnight convoy is in place.

“All schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.”
