A SECTION of the A96 west of Keith will benefit from £170,000 surfacing improvements next week.
Work will begin on Monday, December 13 and is scheduled to be completed by Saturday of the same week.
The overnight improvements will address defects in the road surface on the A96 at North Bogbain.
The improvements will be carried out between 7.30pm and 6.30am each night, with surfacing due to be completed by 6.30am on Saturday.
A lane closure with a 10mph convoy system will be in place during working hours. All traffic management will be removed outwith working hours.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland's North East Unit Representative, said: "This surfacing project near Keith has been designed to improve the general condition and safety of this section of the A96 for motorists.
"We've taken steps to minimise disruption for motorists as much as possible during the improvements, including carrying out the works overnight and removing all traffic management during the daytime to further limit any impact to motorists.
"We thank motorists for the patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential improvements on the A96. We encourage them to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information and allow some extra time to reach their destination."
