Maybe so, but having been up and down the lower half of the A9 this week it’s no fun with 40 mph speed limits (30 mph if they’re working on laybys or former laybys), it’s harder to be positive about this.

The Scottish Government originally promised to dual the entire 80-mile (129 km) single-carriageway section of the A9 between Perth and Inverness by 2025. This pledge was formally confirmed in December 2011.
With hindsight, a stupid thing to promise.
Why do some of our politicians do this? Are they set up by civil servants or duplicitous advisers?
