In response to constituents' enquiries about the current roadworks at the Perth Road/Riverside Avenue junction, I asked for an update from the City Engineer and have been updated as follows:
"The works at Perth Road/Riverside Avenue are for the creation of a longer/wider slip lane off Riverside Avenue into Perth Road heading eastbound.
This is a traffic safety related project and is being provided to improve visibility at the junction for right turning vehicles (heading west) at that junction.
The works are being carried out by Tayside Contracts and should be completed within 3 weeks (having started on Monday)."
