Commuters and local residents across Perth and Kinross, as well as those travelling through Tayside, Fife, and Stirling, should prepare for significant travel disruptions over the coming weeks. A series of roadworks, bus service adjustments, and railway engineering projects are set to impact journeys from late October through mid-November 2025.
Drivers, in particular, will encounter a range of challenges, including overnight closures on key routes and substantial diversions. Public transport users are also advised to check updated timetables and alternative arrangements as bus routes are altered and train services are replaced by coaches. Perth and Kinross: Navigating Local Roadworks
Residents within Perth and Kinross face several notable road closures and lane restrictions. South of Perth, near the busy Broxden Roundabout, the M90 and A9 will experience lane restrictions during weekday nights from 7:30 PM to 6:30 AM, running from October 27 until November 15. These measures are in place to facilitate drainage investigations, which are crucial for maintaining road safety.
Further north, in Highland Perthshire, motorists on the A827 at Grandtully will encounter daily weekday closures between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM from October 27 to November 7. These closures, for resurfacing work between Grandtully and Little Ballinluig, necessitate a considerable 38-mile diversion route. Local authorities urge drivers to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys.
The A827 will again see disruption near Kenmore on November 5, with another closure between Kenmore and Taymouth Burn Bridge. An official diversion will direct traffic via Killin, Lochearnhead, and Crieff, utilising the A827, A85, A822, and A826. Later in November, the B989 near Dalguise will be shut at Inchmagrannachan from November 16 to 21, with a diversion route available via the A9 and A827. In Dunning, the B8062 will be closed from November 5 to 11, with traffic rerouted via the A824, A9, and B9141. Even closer to Perth, Station Road in Invergowrie will experience a closure from November 3 to 14, with diversions guiding vehicles along Station Road, Errol Road, Park Road, and Noble Avenue. Dundee and Angus: Key Artery Closures
Dundee drivers should be aware of multiple overnight closures and lane restrictions. The A85 Riverside Avenue will be closed overnight between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM on two separate periods: November 3-8 and November 10-15. This is for resurfacing work from the Swallow Roundabout to the Apollo Way junction. Similarly, the A90 Kingsway will have overnight lane closures at Strathmartine Road from October 26 to November 9 for resurfacing. The Tay Road Bridge, a vital link, is scheduled for overnight closures from 12:20 AM to 5:00 AM between November 4 and 6, as part of essential corrosion prevention works.
Other Dundee roads affected include the A930 Dundee Road and Monifieth Road, both requiring temporary traffic lights on November 13 and 14 respectively, for Scottish Water works. Reform Street in the city centre has been closed since October 15 for sewer repairs, with no immediate end date. Dykes of Gray Road will also mirror the A85 closures, with overnight resurfacing works occurring north of the Swallow Roundabout during the same periods. Victoria Road will have traffic lights in place at its junction with Dens Road from November 3 to 10. Gas works will close the southbound section of Craigie Avenue from Arbroath Road to Carlochie Place from November 3 to December 8. Lastly, Law Road, providing access to The Law summit, faces a nine-week conservation closure from October 13 to December 12.
In Angus, the A90 near Brechin will see overnight lane restrictions from October 27 to November 7, followed by a contraflow system and northbound slip road closures from November 9 to December 5 for vital carriageway maintenance. The A92 west of Arbroath and at Muirdrum will also have overnight lane closures, temporary traffic lights, and convoy systems for resurfacing work in early to mid-November. The A926 Dundee Loan in Forfar will be closed from November 6 to 8 for Scottish Water works. Fife and Stirling: Bridge Maintenance and Essential Upgrades
Fife’s M90 Queensferry Crossing will experience carriageway and lane closures between 8:00 PM and 5:00 AM on weeknights from November 3 to 14. This is due to maintenance on the bridge’s cabling, with traffic being diverted via the Forth Road Bridge when necessary. A more prolonged closure affects the B917 Black Road in Kelty, which will be shut between September 29, 2025, and February 27, 2026, for sewer works. Other road closures in Fife include the B942 Main Street in Colinsburgh from November 3-7 for resurfacing, Main Street in Leuchars from November 10-14 for street lighting, and Headwell Avenue and Tuke Street in Dunfermline from October 20 to November 7 for resurfacing.
In Stirling, the M9 will see an overnight closure on November 7 from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM between Junction 9 and Junction 11 for refurbishment works at Knockhill Bridge. The A9 near Dunblane will have overnight southbound closures and 24-hour lane restrictions from November 10 to 21 for drainage and road safety improvements. The A85 at Glen Dochart will have reduced speed limits, traffic lights, and a 10 mph convoy from November 2-4 for resurfacing, followed by an overnight closure with hourly amnesties from November 9-10 at Glen Ogle Head. Tree felling will close the B818 at Carron Valley Reservoir from November 10-17, and Forthside Way in Stirling remains closed until December 5 for active travel route construction. Public Transport Alterations
Bus services will also be affected. In Dundee, Xplore Dundee’s 14S service will be diverted until November 14 between ASDA Milton and Glenconnor Drive. For Fife residents, Stagecoach services 42A, 42B, and GF1 will bypass Leuchars Main Street from November 10 to 14 due to a road closure, directing passengers to alternative stops. Stagecoach’s 99 service will be significantly impacted by the Tay Road Bridge closures, with buses either accessing the bridge directly or diverting via Perth from November 4-6 during late-night hours. Longer-term diversions for Stagecoach services BE3, 33A, and X56 are in place in Kelty until February 28, 2026. In Perth and Kinross, Stagecoach 34A will operate a revised schedule until November 5, starting and terminating at Ballinluig, with a shuttle service connecting Aberfeldy.
Rail passengers also face adjustments. On November 7, the 6:18 PM LNER service from Aberdeen to Leeds will terminate at York. More locally, ScotRail services between Crianlarich and Fort William will be replaced by buses from November 8 to 16 due to engineering work north of Upper Tyndrum. This will also affect Caledonian Sleeper services, which will not operate between Glasgow and Fort William during this period. Travellers are strongly encouraged to check with their respective transport providers for the latest information before commencing their journeys.
