Why Perthshire’s new ‘Green Bridge’ is good news for local wildlife

On the banks of the River Tay, north of Perth, BAM is delivering a new ‘Green Bridge’ as part of the Cross Tay Link Road project. The bridge has been developed as part of a wider scheme by Perth and Kinross Council to take pressure off congested city roads and reduce the traffic impact on historic river crossings. As well as creating superb new facilities for cyclists and walkers, the new structure will provide habitat connectivity and a safe haven for mammals and plant life, reducing the long term impact of biodiversity loss.
