Question
To ask the Scottish Government how long the A9 Inverness to Scrabster road has been closed due to an accident in (a) one and (b) both direction(s) in each of the last five years, broken down by month.
Answer
The information extracted does not provide for the differentiation between a closure of the road in both directions or when the road is only closed in one direction and each incident has been recorded as a ‘road closure.’
The length of closures (in hours / minutes) of the A9 between Inverness and Scrabster due to an accident between 2018 and 2023 (to date), month by month are detailed in the following table:
