BEAR Scotland, working on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out essential investigation works to inform future repairs on the A9 River Braan bridge, immediately north of Dunkeld.
The works will involve part-excavation of the existing expansion joint to determine key dimensions for designing replacement of the expansion joints. After the completion of the investigation works, the surfacing will be reinstated with a temporary repair.
For the safety of workers and road users, a single lane closure, with two-way temporary traffic lights, will be in place from 19:00 on Monday 23 September. The closed lane will re-open by 7am on Tuesday 24 September.
Periods of convoy operation with a 10mph speed restriction are expected.
The local footpath network, including the bridge underpass will remain open throughout the works. Pedestrians may be asked by our sub-contractor to wait briefly on entering the underpass, whilst they ensure that the area is safe.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Network Manager, said: “This investigation and temporary repair of the expansion joint are essential in ensuring the bridge is safe for road users
“We would like to thank local residents and the road users in advance for their patience and understanding.”
Emergency service vehicles will be allowed to pass through the site throughout the working period.
A consultation letter will be sent to residents and businesses within 300m of the site, one-week prior to the works.
