Lack of clarity on funding ‘significantly contributed’ to A9 delay #news #shorts #transport

A lack of agreement on funding “significantly contributed” to the Scottish Government’s failure to dual the A9 by 2025, a Holyrood report has found.

The Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee said it remains concerned about whether cash will be made available to meet the new 2035 deadline.

MSPs, who are investigating delays in the project, said issues were repeatedly raised years before the target was scrapped.

The committee said it is concerned about a lack of open dialogue on the challenges facing the £3 billion project, which will dual the road between Inverness and Perth.
