Construction is underway for the £118 million Cross Tay Link Road (CTLR) in Perthshire, Scotland. This new stretch of road includes a bridge and will help cut chronic congestion at peak periods.

This is the biggest infrastructure project ever undertaken by Perth & Kinross Council and forms the central element of the Perth Transport Futures Project. The work involves the construction of a new three-span bridge over the River Tay and a 6km stretch of new carriageway linking the A9 and the A93 to Blairgowrie and the A94, just north of Scone. It also includes the construction of 2km of realigned dual carriageway on the A9 just north of the Inveralmond Roundabout.

The project will improve the local transport network and traffic flow, and reduce journey times. It will also boost pedestrian and cycle safety, increase network capacity as well as significantly reducing traffic congestion and related pollution in Perth city centre.

The project is being delivered by engineering and construction group BAM Nuttall (BAM).
