Sewer repair

A road closure is in place for the duration of the works

Scottish Water is carrying out work to reduce the risk of sewer flooding in Rattray.

Following an investigation of the sewer network in the area, we have identified a damaged section of the sewer underneath the A926 near the junction with Hatton Road.

In order to access and repair this section of the network, our operatives require to excavate a section in the centre of the carriageway.

The A926 High Street was closed west of the junction with Hatton Road on Tuesday 9 September to allow our operatives to safely investigate and repair a damaged sewer.

It is anticipated these works will last approximately six weeks.

Traffic is being diverted via Hatton Road, returning to High Street by Balmoral Road and vice versa. Access to High Street from Sidlaw Road is also affected. Drivers are advised to plan an alternative route to minimise any potential delays or disruptions.

We appreciate that the closure of this busy route will cause some disruption for road users but can only thank them for their patience and understanding while we carry out this essential work.

Our contractor The Clancy Group is carrying out this work on our behalf and will work with everyone impacted to minimise the impact of the works where possible.
