A quiet day for Roadworks on the A96 in Nairn? Pictures

Tailbacks have been building up all morning in the town as the gas main works got underway. An interesting contrast here between the West tailback and the East end of town. The first picture was taken around 13.00 and the other out by Sainsbury's about 20 minutes later. Maybe a lot more folk were taking the unofficial bypass or perhaps the temporary lights were a little kinder on those coming our way from the east? We did hear of a tailback well past the roundabout earlier however. More later. 


The tailback stretches to the  turn-off to the Delnies caravan site around 13.00 today Sunday 9th August


The Sainsbury's roundabout at about 13.20 Sunday 9th August. The tailback was beyond the railway bridge and just across the Grantown Rd set of lights - considerably less than out towards Inverness

    What's the problem, it's work that needed to be done. Imagine the complaints and the cost had it been carried out at night. If it bothers anyone so much stay at home or try walking, no big deal

    What were the contractors supposed to do, build a bridge

    Some need to get a life
