Amendments have been made to the construction process of the much-disputed Cross Tay Link Road (CTLR) project to reduce its carbon footprint following backlash from local communities and public figures.
Perth and Kinross Council says contractor BAM Nuttall (BAM) has undertaken “detailed design development and changes to construction methodologies” and claims to have reduced the carbon output by over 35,000 tonnes.
This is the equivalent of taking more than 20,000 small cars off the road for a year, according to calculations based on statistics from the Department of Transport.
