A bypassed section of the A968 (former B9077)
The original road numbered B9077 existed in the north of Shetland Mainland.
The road left the A970 at Hillside and headed north alongside Dales Voe and Firths Voe into Mossbank. After going through town it ended at the pier, the original departure point of the ferry to Yell.
Unlike some other roads in Shetland which were renumbered in the 1920s, the B9077 number lasted some time. However, the road finally disappeared after World War II with the inauguration of the A968 across northern Shetland. The section through Mossbank was quickly declassified as the ferry departure point was moved to nearby Toft.
