A9 Economic Appraisal

In 2007 HIE and HITRANS commissioned a study into the economic benefits that improvements to the A9 trunk road between Perth and Inverness would bring.

The study provides information on the high level impacts on regional income, employment, business aspirations and the public sector, and estimates future traffic flows and their impact.

This research included:

• analysis of key economic issues and identification of two improvement options;
• analysis of the potential Gross Value Added (GVA) and employment impacts; and
• an economic activity location impacts (EALI) appraisal.
