Perth and Kinross Council has announced that resurfacing works are now underway on Newhouse Road, Perth between the junction with Struan Road and the Rannoch Road roundabout.

Due to the nature of the works, a 24 hour road closure is required, along with suspension of on-street parking. Resurfacing will take place Monday to Friday between the hours of 7.30am and 4.30pm. To keep disruption to a minimum, the works will be carried out in two phases, with associated traffic management as follows:

Phase 1: Monday 20 May - Friday 31 May, from the Struan Road junction to the Balgowan Road junction, with minor works on the Newhouse Road/Rannoch Road roundabout. A road closure and three-way temporary traffic lights will be in operation, and Balgowan Road will remain open during this phase.


Phase 2: Monday 03 June - Friday 17 June, at the Newhouse Road/Rannoch Road roundabout including the Balgowan Road junction. A full road closure will be in place, with traffic diverted respectively via West Mains Avenue and Campsie Road.

A council statement said: "We would apologise for any inconvenience that results from these works; every effort will be made to keep this to a minimum. Access to properties and pedestrians will be maintained, but on-street parking will be unavailable throughout the closure. Staff on site will be able to advise residents on the areas where restrictions apply as the resurfacing progresses. Household bins should be presented as normal on their scheduled collection days."

Works are expected to take approximately four weeks to complete.
