Go live date after progress made on works relating to new speed limits on C1126 Glenmore-Cairngorm Road

The contractors appointed to carry out sign installation work associated with the new speed limit order for the C1126 Glemore to Cairngorm Road have finished ahead of schedule.

Chair of the Economy and Infrastructure Committee, Cllr Ken Gowans, said: “It is pleasing to note that contractor on the Glenmore Speed Limit scheme, MacDonald Plant Ltd, have worked tirelessly and have completed the sign installation works.

“As a result, the live date for the scheme is being advertised as Friday 22 December 2023, and this aligns with previously published information.

“The Highland Council would like to thank all consultees, members and our delivery partners MacDonald Plant Ltd for their collective efforts in delivering what will be an important safety improvement to the Glenmore corridor.”

Highland Council announced a delay to new speed limits earlier this month which had prevented works taking place, however, the recent milder spell has worked in the favour of the contractors and the project is back on track.

The new limits will also affect the B970 Aviemore – Inverdruie – Coylumbridge - Nethybridge Road.
