Tay Road Bridge ramp works

As extensive work on the Tay Road Bridge draws to a close, drivers are being warned of closures and diversions as activity on the connecting ramps gets underway.

From Monday August 5 for four weeks a series of ramp closures and diversions will allow joint replacement and resurfacing on both the west (Perth) bound ramp and the east (Broughty Ferry) bound, as well as the Fife bound on ramp.

While works have been scheduled for evening and overnight to minimise the effect on bridge users, it is likely that drivers will face temporary disruption.

Some full closures will be necessary during the period of works, with diversion via Perth the only viable alternative.

The ramp works are expected to be completed by early September with a full bridge reopening on course for later that month.

Local residents are also being warned that there may be noise at some points from the works, which contractors have pledged to keep a minimum.
