High Street Rattray

Scottish Water is planning to carry 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 will be closed west of the junction with Hatton Road from 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 will be diverted via Hatton Road, returning to High Street by Balmoral Road and vice versa. Access to High Street from Sidlaw Road will also be 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 will be carrying out this work on our behalf and will work with everyone affected to minimise the impact of the works where possible.

In the meantime, measures are in place this week to help deal with any incidents that occur as a result of the anticipated heavy rainfall. Traffic management is currently in place outside Rattray Primary School to allow this to take place. Customers who experience any problems while this work is being arranged are asked to report this via our customer helpline (0800 077 8778) as soon as possible and we will arrange the support required.
