The A9 dualling is a totemic issue for people living in the Highlands. From the moment we set off on the road, we know the risks it carries – the tragedies that can unfold, impacting not only those who act recklessly or impatiently but also innocent road users who fall victim to these avoidable accidents.
For years, we endured the worry that comes with understanding just how dangerous the road can be – that’s why the promise to dual the road was so welcome.
But a promise is nothing without action, and serious action was needed to get this project over the line.
