Weeks of A9 roadworks scheduled between Perth and Dunblane

A £350,000 programme of improvements to the A9 between Perth and Dunblane is  to be carried out during the night to avoid major disruption.

That section of the A9 is used by almost 30,000 vehicles a day and BEAR Scotland say the improvements will help ensure it is continues to function safely.

Resurfacing works are planned at three locations near Gleneagles and Cairnie Braes, and a series of road safety and junction improvements are being implemented at a fourth location at the Forteviot Junction.

The second phase of a major footway improvements scheme at Gleneagles, which began in February earlier this year, will also be completed.

All five sets of works will take place overnight to minimise any impact to motorists on the A9 as much as possible.

Andy Thompson, BEAR’s North East representative, said: “The resurfacing will repair any cracks on potholes in the surface, and the works at Forteviot will help improve visibility at the junction which will enhance safety for road users.

“The footway works at Gleneagles will also improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists in the area and forms part of a network-wide strategy to encourage walking and cycling.

“Whilst completing such works requires traffic management to ensure the safety of the workforce and road users, we have scheduled all of the works to take place overnight so as to minimise disruption to motorists as much as possible, and have planned the schemes to be completed as quickly and safely as we can.

“We’d encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date journey information and if possible leaving a little additional time to reach their destination.”

Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland on www.trafficscotland.org or twitter @trafficscotland.

The work is scheduled to be carried out from July 13 until the end of the month.

The lengthiest work in the programme is to Gleneagles footways which will last for two weeks from Monday July 18.

This is the second phase of improvements to pedestrian and cyclist safety at Gleneagles.
