Welcome

Welcome to the draft Orders Public Exhibition for the A9 Dualling: Pass of Birnam to Tay Crossing project.

In December 2023, a delivery plan for completion of the A9 Dualling Programme was announced in the Scottish Parliament to dual the A9 between Perth and Inverness by 2035.

In August 2024 public engagement events were held to update the local community and road users on the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Stage 3 design development and assessment of the Pass of Birnam to Tay Crossing scheme.

This exhibition presents the draft Orders, including the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO), and the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) for the Pass of Birnam to Tay Crossing section of the A9 Dualling Programme, all of which have been published on 30 May 2025, and explains the statutory processes that are being followed.

Transport Scotland staff and our technical advisors, Jacobs, will be happy to assist you with any queries you may have and talk you through any aspect of the proposed scheme.
