Scottish official criticizes government for not hastening £3.7 billion A9 road project.

Former Scottish Cabinet secretary Fergus Ewing criticized the Scottish Government for not speeding up the A9 dualling project between Perth and Inverness, calling it "deeply disappointing." A report commissioned by Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop advised against accelerating the £3.7 billion project, citing concerns about procurement, construction, and increased disruption. Despite the criticism, Hyslop maintains the current plan is "robust and practical," with progress being made on key sections of the project.
