In reply to UKH News:

I've spent many a trip sitting behind a lorry, thinking "I wish they'd upgrade this to dual carriageway", but never once considered how that might block access to certain hills/walks due to not being able to cross the road easily. On a quick read, it does seem there's a genuine wish to have a sensible approach to this, so I reckon its well worth those of us who walk the hills either side of the A9 giving feedback.

I just hope my legs/knees will still be working well enough to still be using the A9 regularly come 2025 when its due to be finished...
