Project Details
Description
Resurfacing works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a section of the A9 carriageway (Southbound (SB)), southwest of Perth in Perth and Kinross, covering a total area of approximately 1.3ha. The works are required as the carriageway is currently displaying various structural defects, such as rutting, alligator cracking and longitudinal cracks.
Construction activities and the associated plant and machinery required are as follows:
- Implementation of Traffic Management (TM) and marking out site (TM plant);
- Removal of existing surfacing and milling to agreed depths (planer, wagon, lorries);
- Resurfacing to the existing road levels using TS2010 aggregate, AC binder, AC base (paver, roller);
- Reinstatement of road markings, linings, and studs (lorries/wagons and plant); and,
- Removal of TM.
The proposed construction is programmed to be undertaken and completed within the 2026-2027 financial year during nighttime hours. The duration is yet to be determined, however, is currently estimated at two weeks.
TM plans are yet to be confirmed but will likely consist of overnight road closures.
