Huntly A96 roadworks set to be carried out
The A96 road is set to benefit from a £660,000 investment that will deliver improvements to the carriageway’s surface.
Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out overnight work on the A96 trunk road to the east of Huntly between Thursday, October 17 and Saturday, November 2.
Work will take place from north of Gartly junction to the A97 junction for Aberchirder and Banff.
An Amey spokesman 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 Friday and Saturday during the work period, Friday, October 18/Saturday, October 19, and Friday, October 25/Saturday, October 26.
“Traffic management is scheduled to be removed by 6.30am on Saturday, November 2.
“When works are taking place across the A97 junction, traffic for the A97 eastwards will be diverted via the A920 at Colpy, heading east and turning left at Wartle onto the B9001.
“Traffic can then continue on the B9001 to Bogniebrae and turn left onto the A97.
“Traffic from the A97 westwards will be diverted via the above diversion but in reverse.
“The resurfacing will benefit more than 8700 vehicles who use this route each day, creating a smoother ride for motorists and reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.
“All schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.”
