Road works in Nairn - From the horse's mouth (Traffic Scotland) "reported delay of 45 mins. #AvoidIfpossible #BeAware"

The work on the gas main where it crosses the A96 from Harbour Street to the High Street was rescheduled for today with two more sessions planned outside of peak periods during the day on Monday and Tuesday. It looks however that the volume of traffic on the A96 these days means roadworks can cause massive delays at any time of the day in Nairn. Here's how Traffic Scotland sum it up via twitter today:

*NEW* #A96 Nairn - very busy both ways due to roadworks; with a reported delay of 45 mins. #AvoidIfpossible #BeAware pic.twitter.com/tuiveSRR6d
