SGN to begin final phase of works on section of A96 in Elgin

SGN will begin their final phase of work on a section of the A96 between Wittet Drive and Sheriffmill Road in Elgin in January.

From Monday, January 10, SGN will be working on West Road between the junctions of the two roads. Works will last for approximately four weeks.

During this time, there will be two-way temporary traffic lights between Sheriffmill Road and Wittet Drive.

Wittet Drive will be closed with no access onto West Road. Residents will gain access from Pluscarden Road.

There will be parking restrictions on Pluscarden Road between the West Road roundabout and Pluscarden Road roundabout as this route is being used as the diversion for motorists.

At the same time, SGN will also be working in Duff Place between Bishopmill Primary School and the junction of Braemorriston Road for roughly six weeks.

The company's project manager David Munro said: “Our project has been agreed in close consultation with BEAR Scotland and Moray Council.

"Our work will progress as quickly as possible to cause minimal disruption and and we’ll be doing everything we can to limit delays to motorists.”
