Project update: 10 MAY

Phase 3 - B898 

Etape cycle diversion

Taking place on Sunday, 12 May, the 2024 Etape cycle event is passing close by our works on the B898. The event includes a closure of the A827 between Balinluig and the B898 for a period of approximately six hours. As this is part of the diversion route for B898 residents living north of the current rolling roadworks, we will ensure access back down the B898 is available for these residents only during the race closure. 

Drop-in session

We are holding a third drop-in session at the Dalguise Village Hall on Wednesday, 15 May between 2pm and 7pm. We'd be delighted to welcome you along again to meet the project team, who will be pleased to answer any questions you may have. 

General progress 

We continue to make good progress along the road and we have now passed the southern entrance to PGL with our rolling road closure. This of course means we have now passed the majority of properties in Dalguise enabling villagers there to again access the A9 by travelling south along the B898. PGL is now only able to use its southern entrance with coaches reverting to the routes they used before our works commenced. We will continue to keep you informed with the progress we are making on the project with regular updates and an accompanying map.

There's more information here in our project leaflet.

Phase 2 - A9

The majority of phase two of our critical work in the A9 is now complete. We do however, have some work still to complete at the railway bridge, but to keep any disruption to an absolute minimum, this is being carried out under monitored traffic management on weekdays between the hours of 9pm and 6am. 
 

COMPLETED
Phase 1 - Birnam, Little Dunkeld and Inver

All work to lay the gas pipeline through Birnam, Little Dunkeld, under the River Braan and through Inver are now complete. We'd like to thank all local residents and businesses for their patience and understanding as we completed this phase of our gas infrastructure project. 

Project background

One of our gas pipes runs close to the River Tay, and due to some erosion on the river bank we need to move and upgrade this section of our network.

Our gas network in the area remains safe and there's no immediate risk, but we want to carry out our construction work now to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply.

Our new pipeline will run between Birnam and Logierait and the project is being carried out by our contractors Advance Group Limited and Morrison Energy Services.

Here's our CEO Mark Wild with more information on our critical project.
