A council proposal to remove a crossing point over the A9 south of Luncarty as part of its wider plans to construct the controversial £118 million Cross Tay Link Road came under intense scrutiny during a virtual hearing held this week.
The local authority notified the public last April it was about to submit a formal order to Scottish Ministers to stop up core path LUNC/124 short of where it currently crosses the A9 east of Redgorton House and west of Denmarkfield.
It wants to take away the crossing so it can realign the A9 and form a new grade separated junction between Perth and Luncarty linking to the planned CTLR and has argued anyone still wishing to cross the road on foot will still be able to at another at grade crossing nearer Redgorton.
