Roads Infrastructure Team Small client team of 5 Set up in 2013/14 Situated within Planning & Development (Corporate & Democratic Services) Work closely with Transport Planning colleagues who progress proposed large roads schemes to end of DMRB Stage 2 Once there is a Business Case and Budget for a scheme it is handed to the Roads Infrastructure Team We manage the delivery phase which generally consists of site investigations, design through to DMRB Stage 3, land purchase, planning process and construction. We rely on support from colleagues in Legal, Planning, Estates, Finance and many others. Also rely on external support from consultants, DVS, Legal Advisors etc.
Perth Transport Futures Project Strategic Rationale Perth – major strategic hub Delivery of sustainable growth in the Tay Cities region Support the Northwest expansion of Perth as envisaged in the Local Development Plan (new LDP recently launched) Perth – AQMA. High priority given current climate crisis. Ambitious City Plan Integrated Series of Measures over Four Phases Phase 1 – A9/A85 scheme (complete) Phase 2 – CTLR Phase 3 – Bertha Park connection Phase 4 – City centre improvements (including greener travel – Perth, People, Place with SUSTRANS)
Phase 1 – A9/A85 Scheme Commenced on-site September 2016 Designer – CH2M Contractor – Balfour Beatty Complete May 2019 (roads opened January 2019 – 3 months early) Benefits / Features New grade separated junction on A9 Link road to Bertha Park development (including new school) New access to industrial estate Relieve pressure on Inveralmond Roundabout and Crieff Road corridor
Phase 1 – A9/A85 Scheme NEC3 Option A Contract (Scape Procure) £37.9m final cost (within 7% of initial price) Collaborative approach Significant Community Benefits Programme Social Value of £12.9 or £0.42 per £1 spent Recognised for collaborative approach Various Awards including: NEC Contract of the Year 2019 CECA Community Award 2019 National Social Value Award 2018 End of Project Review – Lessons learned fed into CTLR strategies
Phase 2 - Cross Tay Link Road AIMS OF THE CROSS TAY LINK ROAD Reduced congestion and improved air quality in the city centre and Bridgend Enable new, planned and committed developments – sustainable economic growth Enable city centre improvements including a move towards greener travel Connecting communities and improving access to Scone Palace and Perth Racecourse for events MAIN FEATURES OF THE CROSS TAY LINK ROAD New crossing of River Tay north of Perth New grade separated junction between Inveralmond Roundabout and Luncarty New link road from the A9 to the A94 (with roundabouts on Stormontfield Road, A93 and Highfield Track) Active travel route for full length of new road
Phase 2 - Cross Tay Link Road LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2
Phase 2 - Cross Tay Link Road Reduction in traffic congestion – modelling by SYSTRA / Transport Planning – air quality improvement evident as shown
