From Monday 20 April 2026, we are carrying out two sections of resurfacing works on the A924 at the north side of Pitlochry.
The works have been phased to minimise disruption as much as possible and will be carried out on weekdays only to allow their safe and efficient completion completed before the weekend of the Etape Caledonia cycle race on Sunday 10 May 2026 and prior to the proposed works on the southbound Pitlochry A9 slip road by BEAR Scotland.
The first phase will begin on Monday 20 April on the A924 on Atholl Road between Dysart Brae and Larchwood Road, and will be carried out under a road closure from 9am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday. This phase is scheduled to take six weekdays to complete. The official diversion route will be via the A924 on the north side of Pitlochry, the A9, A827 Ballinluig, the A9 and A924 Pitlochry town centre, and vice versa. The road resurfacing will be followed by pavement patching works from Tuesday 28 April in the same location, scheduled to take four weekdays to complete under two-way temporary traffic lights.
The second phase covers the A924/A9 slip road, beginning on Tuesday 28 April and due to take 9 weekdays to complete with a road closure from 9am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday, except for the bank holiday on Monday 4 May when the road will be open potentially with traffic lights in operation, before works resume on Tuesday 5 May. The official diversion routes will be as follows:
- Southbound: North Pitlochry B8019 - B8079 Killiecrankie - A9 - A827 Ballinluig - A9 - A924 Pitlochry Centre
- Northbound: A924 Pitlochry Centre - A9 - A827 Ballinluig - A9 - A924 - B8019
Loading and parking suspensions will be in place, with temporary traffic lights operating to ensure the safety of the site. The traffic lights may also be operational overnight and at weekends.
Changes to bus services operating to/from Pitlochry will also be in place during the works - please see the Public Transport News page on our website for further details.
