The SNP have been left humiliated after research found that their flagship promise to dual the A9 may not be achieved for 100 years. Scottish Tory transport spokesman Graham Simpson claimed that the figures "demonstrate the appalling betrayal by the SNP of those who rely on the A9." “The nationalists originally pledged to have the A9 fully dualled by 2025, yet at the current rate of progress it would be well over a century late. SNP ministers were already making pitiful, snail-paced progress on this, but the addition of the anti-car Greens to Government has made things worse. Ministers are committed to dualling the A9 between Perth and Inverness and work is continuing across the route.
