Crieff Road to be closed at night

Jun 10 2008

PERTH’S Crieff Road will be closed to evening traffic for a fortnight this month for resurfacing work.

The road will be closed from 7pm-7am each day from Sunday, June 15, for a maximum period of two weeks.

Traffic will be prohibited on the stretch between Feus Road to its junction with Newhouse Road.

Pedestrian and vehicular access to premises will be maintained.

An alternative route for traffic will be clearly signposted via Crieff Road – Dunkeld Road-A9-Crieff Road. Local buses will also be diverted along alternative routes.

Stagecoach Perth Services 1, 2, 14 and 15 will be affected by this road closure and information regarding any local bus service diversions will be posted on bus stops

Enterprise and Infrastructure convener, Councillor John Kellas, said: “Because it is a very busy route we decided not to close the road in the day.

“The work will instead be carried out during the evening and at night to minimise the disruption.

“We would ask the public for their patience during the period.”

Some work on drainage on Crieff Road will take place this week. This will be carried out without road closures and is not expected to cause any disruption to traffic.
