Stage status: Concept design/consultation
The Bridge of Earn to Newburgh Active Travel project aims to create a safe walking, cycling and wheeling route along the A912 and A913 road corridors. This will connect communities along the way, in Bridge of Earn, Aberargie, Abernethy and Newburgh.
Construction within Perth and Kinross has already started and will progress eastwards towards Fife. The preferred alignment for the route has still to be decided within Fife, but it is anticipated that the route will start and finish in Newburgh Public Park.The project team is engaging with local landowners, regarding access agreements.
Fife Council is engaged in delivering a network of active travel routes for walking, wheeling and cycling throughout the Kingdom. We want to encourage and increase the number of people using active travel either for work, leisure or routine journeys. Cutting carbon emissions will make a better place to live in and a stronger healthier population.
