We Need A Proper Plan For The A9
Sign Our Petition Below
Humza Yousaf, leader of the SNP, has now said that work to dual the A9 will not be completed before the next Holyrood election in May 2026. He went on to say that the SNP were “absolutely committed” to getting this done. Just like they've been saying for 16 years. Originally due to start in 2015 and be entirely complete by 2025, to date, just 12.5 miles of dual carriageway have been opened.
When pressed on the matter, Humza Yousaf declined to provide any kind of new timeline or date for completion. Under the SNP and Green coaltion, progress has been and continues to be unacceptably slow. The road is unfit for purpose, crashes and deaths continue to mount, and the whole of the Highlands suffers from the SNP's decade and a half of inaction.
We are calling for the SNP government to:
- Urgently announce a revised timetable for the completion of A9 dualling.
- Provide adequate funding to make sure they don't miss deadlines.
- Announce a proper plan for the upgrading of the A9 north of Inverness, which has so far been neglected.
