Roadworks To Begin On A93 At Rochallie

Perth & Kinross Council has announced roadworks will be carried for six weeks on the A93 at Rochallie.

The works will stabilise an embankment and carry out improvements to the existing road drainage system. The road will also be resurfaced.

Works will begin on 11 May. Due to the reduced width of the carriageway while the repair work is underway, north and south-bound traffic will share a single lane with a convoy system in operation.

During the week of 8 June, the A93 will be closed overnight between 7pm and 7am to allow road drainage crossings to be installed.

The following week on 15 June, the road will be closed for up to two days to allow carriageway surfacing works to be carried out.
