Major A9 Roadworks To Get Underway

Motorists in Perth have been warned to expect delays to their journeys as major roadworks are carried out on the A85 Crieff Road overbridge.

The bridge runs over the A9 dual carriageway on the Perth Western bypass.

The council has said the works will be undertaken by BEAR Scotland, and the main works will star from Monday 18 November and last for 14 weeks.


For the duration of the project, the A85 Crieff Road southbound on-slip will be closed and a signed diversion route will be in place via Inveralmond Roundabout for southbound traffic. The northbound on-slip will remain open and temporary traffic lights will be in operation on the roundabout at the top of the A9 slip roads. Reduced speed limits will be in place for the duration of the works.

The diversions and temporary traffic management will impact on local traffic and the local authority has said it will lead to delays on local roads around the Broxden and Inveralmond and Newhouse/Crieff Road roundabouts.
