Repositioning of Tomatin Access Junction and Link Road

*Please note these works have been rescheduled due to poor weather conditions*

Location

On the A9 at Tomatin Junction.

Description

From Friday 27 February 2026, the existing Tomatin junction on the A9 will close, and a new temporary junction will open nearby as part of ongoing work on the A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy project. This follows the successful realignment of the A9 at Tomatin in December 2025.

To facilitate this, overnight temporary traffic signals will be in place on the A9 at Tomatin for one night between 19:00 and 06:00 the following day on Thursday 26 February. These traffic signals are required to complete the final stages of the junction repositioning.

The current junction will remain in operation until the new temporary junction becomes operational on Friday 27 February, at which point the existing junction will close to use. The new temporary junction is located approximately 400 metres south of the existing Tomatin junction and will be clearly signposted. The new temporary junction will remain in use until the new Tomatin underpass is completed and comes into operation in late 2026.

Access will be maintained at all times for residents, visitors, Tomatin Distillery, Strathy Snacks, as well as properties in the area and emergency services.

There will be no changes to the existing NCN7 pedestrian and cycle route, which will continue to operate as normal throughout the duration of the works.

From 27 February, the northbound and southbound bus stops currently on the A9 at Tomatin will be permanently relocated to the bus turning circle near Tomatin Distillery. All scheduled bus services, including the 37 and the school bus to Millburn Academy, will use the new bus stop location. The X37 service will not stop at the turning circle and will continue to Carrbridge and Aviemore.

Date and time:

Overnight temporary traffic signals will be in place on the A9 at Tomatin for one night between 19:00 and 00:00 on Thursday 19 February. The new junction will become operational, and the bus stops will be relocated from 27 February.
