The A9 at Tain experienced a closure in both directions due to a crash, causing quite a bit of chaos for drivers in the Highlands. The incident took place around 12.33pm on Sunday, May 25, near the junction with the A836. Emergency services were quick to respond, leading to police shutting down both the northbound and southbound lanes to handle the situation and keep the public safe.
Details regarding what exactly caused the crash have not been confirmed yet, and it’s unclear if there have been any injuries reported. The road closure has led to significant delays, with traffic being redirected through alternative routes. Drivers are being strongly advised to factor in extra time for their journeys as long as the closure remains in effect. Traffic Scotland came out with a statement confirming the closure and recommending road users to keep up with diversions and updates through their website and social media platforms.
Residents in the area have been dealing with major congestion as vehicles are being rerouted through local roads. Authorities have not given a specific timeline for when the road is expected to reopen, but efforts are underway to clear the scene and carry out investigations.
