Project Details

Description

These resurfacing works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a section of the A9 carriageway (southbound), West of Perth, covering a total area of 1.1ha. The works are required as the carriageway is currently displaying various structural defects, such as fretting, rutting, cracking and patching.

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 total area of works is approximately 11,410m² (1.1ha) across both lanes of the south bound dual carriageway.

The construction is programmed to be undertaken and completed within the 2026-2027 financial year, proposed for April 2026.The works are expected to last for a duration of one week and overnight working will be required.

Traffic Management (TM) to be utilised in the form of alternating single lane closures or contraflow.
