A96 inveramsay bridge northbound part 1
The Inveramsay Bridge is a new bridge carrying the A96 over the Aberdeen to Inverness Line. The bridge is being constructed by Balfour Beatty. It is planned to open early 2016. The existing bridge has a 4.4 metre height restriction and cannot fit two tall vehicles under it because of the arch which goes under 3.7 metres high in places so traffic lights have been put in place so only one row of vehicles go under the bridge at once, the traffic lights cause bad congestion at rush hour. There will be 1.5 kilometres of new road leading to the bridge. SuDS will be put in place at either end of the new part of the A96 leading to the bridge. The old bridge will still be usable. There will be an underpass on the A96 to the south of the bridge which will connect the old A96 to Inveramsay.
