Traffic lights on A9 in Highland Perthshire during series of overnight roadworks

Drivers on the A9 will face disruption as temporary traffic lights are put in place during overnight roadworks in Highland Perthshire.

Resurfacing and road marking improvements will be carried out on the stretch between Blair Atholl and Dalwhinnie from September 22 until October 2.

Lane closures will be in force from 7pm to 6am each day.

Bear Scotland, which is overseeing the project, says temporary traffic lights will be in place during these times.

Drivers will be taken through the roadworks at 10mph by a convoy vehicle.

There will also be a reduced speed limit on approach to the work site.

No work will happen during the day with all restrictions removed. There will also be no work on Friday and Saturday nights.
