Road safety campaigners say an upgrade at a deadly Perthshire road worth more than £1m is “the only option.”
The A912 between Bridge of Earn and Aberargie is set to undergo a £1.6m upgrade to install an adjacent footpath and cycleway this spring.
Set to hug the northern edge of the Baiglie Straight, a new passageway was proposed shortly after Perthshire Rugby captain and local schoolteacher Adam Pattinson was killed in a collision while cycling along the stretch to work.
However, the installation has met some opposition from Earn Community Council.
Chairman John Bruce has flagged concerns that the path, set to hug the northern side of the road, would be build on top of water and electricity lines and that the wind would carry spray from the road onto to the path, which when combined with hedge clippings, would eventually rot it.
Perthshire politicians say there is support for new footway and cyclepath

Campaigners are calling for extra support for pedestrians and cyclists in Perth and Kinross, after it emerged the region’s touch-free traffic lights were de-activated after just 22 complaints.
Do Not Press signs were fitted to all pedestrian crossings after the first lockdown, in a bid to curb coronavirus spread.
In the first scheme of its kind in Scotland, traffic signals were recalibrated to ensure an automated pedestrian phase – meaning they turned to red even if there was no one waiting to cross.
