Heads Up, Comrie: A85 Trunk Road Closure for Special Event on 3rd May 2025

If you’re planning to travel through Comrie on the A85 Trunk Road, take note! On the 3rd of May 2025, a section of this vital route will be temporarily closed to vehicles. This closure is set to make way for a special event, offering both safety and an excellent viewing experience for attendees.

What You Need to Know:

• Closure Details: The closed section spans from 50 metres east of the Nurses Lane junction, heading west along Drummond Street, to its meeting point with Melville Square. This covers approximately 305 metres.

• Timing: The prohibition kicks in from the 3rd of May and will cease on the 4th of May 2025, ensuring minimal disruption over a single day.

• Road Signs: Expect traffic signs marking the closure. These signs are designed to guide vehicles away from the restricted area, ensuring clear and safe navigation.

Exemptions: Essential services won’t be disrupted. Vehicles for emergency services like police, fire brigade, ambulance, and coastguard, as well as those directly involved in facilitating the event, are exempt from this restriction.

Why the Closure? The Scottish Ministers have invoked their powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, ensuring the event can safely proceed on the road — a necessity given its nature and scope.

Plan Your Journey: Make sure to plan alternative routes to avoid delays. The authorities have considered safety and convenience, guiding you through other suitable roads during this brief closure.

For residents and visitors alike, this temporary change is a small step to ensure a memorable and safe event experience. Keep an eye on local updates for any further announcements!
