Major bridge repairs planned by Perth and Kinross Council

A listed Perthshire bridge is to be repaired by Perth and Kinross Council.

Straloch Bridge, over Allt Fearnach, forms part of the transport link between Blairgowrie and Pitlochry. It carries the A924 road over the river in single file.

The council has applied for Listed Building Consent (LCB) and, following a detailed inspection, has outlined the work required to halt ongoing deterioration and make the bridge structurally safe.

Lime-based materials will be used during the works, in accordance with Historic Scotland listed building consent conditions.

The works have been planned to take advantage of low water levels over the summer.
