Scottish Water is advising motorists of a series overnight road closures this week on A9 Northbound in Perth in order to safely remove trees ahead of a planned sewer upgrade.
The work will take place for three consecutive nights beginning today, with the road closed to all northbound traffic between 9pm – 6am.
The closure will affect northbound traffic travelling towards the Inveralmond roundabout – the upgrade will help to reinforce the area’s network and facilitate future growth in the city.
Scottish Water’s Senior Project Manager, David Lavery, said:
“We are investing in a number of large-scale infrastructure projects across the Fair City, which this work is part of.
“We need to safely remove trees located near the verge at this location to allow for the future installation of new sewer pipeline close to the Inveralmond Roundabout.
“As well as helping to transfer the flows from the city centre’s ‘super-sewer’, the work will also reinforce the area’s sewer network and facilitate future development in the city.
“Tree clearance is being carried out overnight to avoid peak traffic periods, however we appreciate the work may cause disruption and thank motorists for their patience.”
A further closure will be required for two nights in early April as Scottish Water continues to prepare the site ahead of the sewer construction work.
All work is being delivered by Scottish Water’s alliance partner Caledonia Water Alliance.
