The B9159 is a short road in Wick. Although previously thought to be defunct, it is still listed by the Highland Council as a classified road, and still marked on the OS online mapping top zoom level.
Wick Harbour Bridge
Starting on the A99 where it turns from Bridge Street into the High Street, the B9159 is the 'other', eastern arm of the High Street. However, there is already a problem, as this piece of the High Street is a pedestrian zone with limited one-way traffic heading westbound! At the further end, the route TOTSOs with the unclassified road 'The Shore', as it turns south across the Harbour Bridge, on the further side of which is a small roundabout with Martha Terrace. The route turns left here and then swings southwards along Harbour Quay, following this shoreside road until it reaches Wick's old Herring Mart, where the route terminates. About half way along, Bank Row heads west; this is the former route of the A8002.
Some maps show the entirety of the B9159 on the south bank of the river, using River Street and avoiding the Harbour Bridge and High Street; while possibly a more logical route, this is listed by the local authority as being the U3632 with the route through the High Street being confirmed as the current routing of the B9159 in the 20 mph urban speed limit plan for the town.
