Reconstruction of Longman Roundabout, the junction of the A9 and A82 north-east of Inverness, to provide a grade-separated junction and allow the A9 to flow uninterrupted through the interchange.
No specific layout has been selected yet, but options under consideration include a grade-separated roundabout interchange and a simpler diamond interchange.
Realignment of a section of road that was weakened in heavy rain in November 2011.
As reconstruction of the road that suffered the landslip would entail a lengthy closure of the A82, Transport Scotland are instead building an entirely new section of road further back from the river, which also eliminates two tight bends.
Improvement of a 10-mile section of trunk road alongside Loch Lomond, subsequent to the existing Pulpit Rock improvement scheme.
The existing road is narrow and has an extremely poor alignment, running along the steep shoreline of the loch and constrained by the adjacent railway.
Options being considered are an on-line improvement of the existing road; a new road just inland of the railway; or an entirely new line to the west linking to the A83 at Arrochar.
Three roads were built in the space of 200 years, all trying to tame Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe. This is the impressive tale of one of Scotland's most memorable routes.
