Busy section of A96 through town to close across two days

The A96 through Elgin will be closed across two days at the beginning of next month. The road will shut at the Pansport Roundabout - near Anderson’s Care Home - on the evening of Wednesday, May 7, for a period of 10 hours. The closure is from 8pm on Wednesday, May 7, until 6am on Thursday, May 8.

This is to allow roads operator Amey to undertake ‘investigation works’ ahead of resurfacing works which will take place later in 2025. Investigations will include gathering information to ensure the future works are carried out efficiently, safely and cost effectively. The A96 will be closed between the Northfield roundabout and the Reiket Lane roundabout for the duration of the works.



For diversion, eastbound traffic will take the third exit from Northfield Roundabout onto the A941 Northfield Terrace and follow to take the first exit at the roundabout onto Thornhill Road, then continue onto Reiket Lane to rejoin the A96. Westbound traffic will take the route in reverse. Local diversions will be in place for roundabouts and junctions onto the A96 which are within the closure area.

There will be local access between Reiket Lane Roundabout and Victoria Crescent westbound, and between Pansport Roundabout and Reiket Lane Roundabout eastbound on the east side of the closure. There will be local access between Northfield Roundabout and Cathedral Road on the west side of the closure..
