The A96 Fochabers - Mosstodloch bypass was one of five schemes approved as part of the Scottish Strategic Roads Review in 1999.
A public local enquiry (PLI) was held between 9th September and 28th October 2003.
Scottish Ministers approved construction of a new bypass in accordance with the Reporter's recommendation in March 2005.
The dropping of the legal challenge to the A96 Fochabers and Mosstodloch by-pass project in the Court of Session was announced in May 2007.
Work is likely to start in late 2008 - into early 2009, with scheme completion expected in Spring 2010.
