Scotland launches £118 million project to connect major roads and ease traffic in Perth

A new £118 million project in Scotland will connect two major roads, the A9 and A93, to improve traffic flow in Perth. The Cross Tay Link Road will include a six-kilometre carriageway and a new bridge over the River Tay. Perth & Kinross Council aims to complete the project by spring 2025. This initiative is part of the Perth Transport Futures project, which addresses long-term transportation needs and aims to reduce congestion and pollution in the city center. The project will also promote sustainable travel with a cycling path along the new bridge. Plans for an enhanced active travel network will provide over 12 kilometers of new and improved paths for residents and visitors.
