A section of the southbound A9 between the B934 Forteviot and B9141 Dunning Junctions is set to benefit from resurfacing improvements worth £50,000 with work set to take place next week.
The improvements will address surface defects in the road surface on the southbound section of the A9, creating a safer and smoother road surface for motorists.
The project is scheduled to take place on Monday 22 February between 7.30pm and 6.30am, subject to weather conditions.
To ensure the safety of road workers and motorists, a 10mph convoy system will be in place during working hours.
Strict physical distancing protocols, in line with Scottish Government Covid-19 guidance, will be in place to ensure all site personnel remain safe once the project gets underway. New safe operation procedures and risk assessments have also been developed to ensure teams are kept safe throughout the project.
Commenting on the improvements, Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative, said: “These surfacing improvements will greatly improve and strengthen this section of the A9, as well as create a smoother and safer journey for motorists.
“We’ve taken steps to minimise disruption for motorists as much as possible during the improvements, including carrying out the works overnight and removing all traffic management during the daytime to further limit any impact to motorists.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential works on the A9. We encourage road users to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date traffic information and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”

Materials removed from the existing carriageway will be recycled using SEPA approved methods.
