Temporary A9 realignment and new Ruthven road access

From Wednesday 22 April 2026, both lanes of the A9 will be temporarily realigned at Dalmagarry to support construction of a new bridge on the dual carriageway. As part of these works, the access junction from the A9 to Ruthven road will be repositioned.

A9 realignment layout

• The temporary route will begin 250m south of the existing Ruthven road junction.
• Traffic will move onto a temporary road west of the existing A9, before re-joining the main carriageway 250m south of the B9154 Moy South junction.
• The new access to Ruthven road will be located approximately 100m south of the existing junction.

Using the new access

From Wednesday 22 April:

• Road users can exit the A9 at the new Ruthven road access junction.
• They will then travel 100m north on the existing A9 before turning onto Ruthven road as normal.

Clear signage will be in place throughout. This realignment and temporary access will be in place until early 2027.

An image showing the realignment and access route is provided below.

Please approach the area with care and allow extra time for your journey.

Access will be maintained at all times for emergency services, Ruthven road residents, pedestrians and cyclists.

All works are weather‑dependent and subject to change. Please check the Traffic Scotland website for any updates.
