First A9 Dualling contract saves £15m.

Construction work signalling the start of the A9 Dualling Programme moved a step closer today with confirmation of the intention to award the first major contract to a joint venture of Wills Bros Civil Engineering and John Paul Construction.

The £35 million contract for the 7.5km section of the A9 between Kincraig and Dalraddy has saved the public purse £15 million and includes widening this five mile stretch of single carriageway to full dual carriageway.

This is a significant milestone which marks the final phase in the procurement process and, subject to a mandatory standstill period, the contract will be awarded in the coming weeks. Read more about the A9 dualling milestone reached here…
