Essential work to address a section of the A9 southbound carriageway at Windyedge Farm near Perth is set to take place next week.
The improvements will address defects in the road surface on this southbound section of the A9 near Perth, creating a safer and smoother road surface for motorists.
The overnight improvements are scheduled to begin on Wednesday 10 March and will take place over two nights between 7.30pm and 6.30am, with the project expected to be completed by 6.30am on Friday 12 March.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists, a 10mph convoy system will be in place during working hours. Access to the Tibbermore Junction for road users travelling southbound will also be restricted with a signed diversion in place via the Loaninghead Interchange and back onto the northbound carriageway to Tibbermore. All traffic management will be removed outwith working hours.
Strict physical distancing protocols, in line with Scottish Government 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.
Consultation has taken place with local residents and stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative, said: “This £120,000 investment from Transport Scotland 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.”
