A contractor has been selected to repair the A823 Glendevon Bridge, which was severely damaged during the storm conditions on 12 August 2020.

Perth & Kinross Council is taking part in discussionsas well as BEAR Scotland and Fife Council who are also affected by the road closure.

While the discussions are still to be finalised, the Council anticipates that the closure will start on 15 November 2021, and the road will reopen on 20 December 2021.


In a statement the Council said: "We envisage that a full road closure for vehicles will be necessary for a part of the works, however it is also intended that it will remain open for pedestrians and cyclists. Situations may arise where it will be necessary to temporarily restrict pedestrian/cyclist access, for example lifting operations during the removal of the temporary bridge. However, it is hoped that any restriction of this type will only be required for a relatively short time.

"Finalised arrangements will be confirmed in due course."
