Drivers will face a 38-mile diversion during roadworks in Perthshire.

An official diversion will be in place during these times via the A85, A9, A823 and A822 – and the same route in the other direction.

A statement from Perth and Kinross Council says the duration of the roadworks is dependent on the weather.

It added: “Vehicle access to properties within the works area will be permitted by the contractor when it is safe to do so.

“However, we cannot guarantee immediate entry or exit from properties when the road is being excavated or the new surface is being laid.

Emergency service and pedestrian access on A822 maintained

“Access for emergency service vehicles and pedestrians will be maintained throughout.

“On waste collection days, residents and businesses should present their bins as normal.

“We apologise in advance for any inconvenience while the works are taking place, and would like to thank residents and motorists for their co-operation during this time.”
