Contractors sought for next £115M stage of Scotland’s A9 upgrade
Transport Scotland has launched the tender for the design and build upgrade of the A9 between Tomatin and Moy to dual carriageway, which is estimated to be worth between £115M and £125M.
The 9.6km section is the most northerly section of the £3bn project to dual 30km of the A9 route between Perth and Inverness.
According to the Prior Information Notice published at the end of last week, it is expected that the contract for the work will be awarded in the second half of next year.
In addition to the widening work, the contract includes construction of 3.3km of local link roads, one grade separated junction and four other junctions, as well as significant earthworks, drainage and environmental mitigation elements. The scheme will also include construction of the Dalmagarry Bridge to carry the new dual carriageway over a 670m length of the Dalmagarry Burn plus a new rail bridge over the Highland Main Line Railway
