Motorists are facing disruption on the A9 from tonight as inspections on the Golden Bridge get under way.

The Golden Bridge was installed in 2013 to enable access between Inverness Campus and the city centre, and is used by over 10,000 cyclists and walkers every month.

It forms part of wider green and active travel links which includes the recently opened Raigmore Active Travel link.

Traffic from the south will be directed off the A9 to Inshes roundabout onto Old Perth Road, then to Millburn Road and back onto the A9 at the Raigmore interchange.

Traffic coming from the north on the A9, or from the east on the A96, will be diverted at the Raigmore interchange onto Millburn Road, then to Old Perth Road to Inshes roundabout and then over the dual carriageway to re-join the A9 from Culloden Road.
