http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-33151890 Version 0 of 1. Work to upgrade a five-mile stretch of the A9 to dual carriageway will cost £15m less than previously estimated, Transport Scotland has said. Infrastructure Secretary Keith Brown said a "robust procurement process" had reduced the price of widening the road between Kincraig and Dalraddy. Wills Bros Civil Engineering and John Paul Construction have been lined up for the £35m contract. Transport Scotland said it expected to award the contract soon. The A9 between Perth and Inverness is to be fully dualled at a cost of £3bn by 2025. |
