CTLR Project Update | 30th November 2024

Cross Tay Link Road project update as at 30th November 2024.

Derek Walsh, Contracts Manager for BAM UK & Ireland, commented, "Since the completion of the main deck construction of the Destiny Bridge in September, our focus has turned to the finishing works on the structure. This includes the precast fascia panel installation, deck drainage units and steel safety parapets. Works have also continued on the residual groundworks, surfacing, and finishes on both the A9 and the New Kingsway.”

Jillian Ferguson, Roads & Infrastructure Manager, commented, “As we approach the end of November, I am pleased to confirm that the Destiny Bridge finishing works are well advanced. Steady progression has been made across both the A9 and New Kingsway and we are in a strong position approaching the end of a busy 2024 on the project.

"Alongside this, the Community Artwork trail has gained real momentum with two out of four artworks now in place. I am confident that we are currently on target for project completion in Spring 2025, winter weather allowing."

Destiny Bridge

Since the connection of the main bridge deck in September 2024, the bridge deck waterproofing and protection layer works have been completed including the installation of precast fascia panels parapet upstand beams.

Western approach concrete slabs on top of the reinforced earth structure are also complete which facilitates the connection between the A9 eastern roundabout and Destiny bridge. The remaining bridge finishing works have also progressed well in recent weeks.

New Kingsway

Miscellaneous finishing works have continued over the past few weeks, including completing the surfacing to footpaths and carriageways, and drainage and ducting snagging works. The remaining landscaping has advanced well in the period and is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

A9

The new A9 alignment is fully established and working well for drivers, and ancillary works such as bus-bays, footpaths, and accommodation works are all complete.

Works on the old A9 are now well advanced, and the new realigned cycleway was opened to the public in November 2024.
