The A9 Inverness to Perth road at the Raigmore Interchange has reopened to traffic following an earlier incident.

The road had been closed due to a “road traffic incident” between the interchange and Inshes from around 7am on Thursday September 12.

The Golden Bridge which crosses over the A9 was also closed.

Police were called to the incident at 7.10am.

In a statement at the time, spokesperson for police said: “The A9 between the Raigmore interchange and Inshes is closed due to a road traffic incident.

“The Golden Bridge is also closed.

“Police were contacted around 7.10am this morning and remain on the scene.”

A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received a call at 7.10am to attend an incident on the A9, Raigmore Interchange.

“An ambulance and paramedic response unit were dispatched to the scene.”

The closure led to long delays throughout much of Inverness during Thursday, with many commutes taking far longer to navigate between the city and the A96/A9.

Traffic Scotland reported the road reopened fully to traffic at around 12.40pm.
