He said it was covering both lanes.

"I just want to highlight this so people know that it's here if they plan to take this route," he said. "Maybe by doing so, they will choose an alternative route."

Meanwhile, Inverness South councillor Duncan Macpherson shared footage of rainfall in Cradlehall last night on social media, adding: "Frightening to see how quickly the water level rose so dangerously!"

More rain is forecast for the Inverness area today.
