Finish of UCI Cycling World Championships events moved after road closure complaints from locals The finish of the Gran Fondo has been moved and the majority of roads in Perth will now reopen earlier than planned, after residents raised concerns cycling
As Scotland prepares to host the inaugural UCI Cycling World Championships in just under a fortnight’s time, the sport’s governing body has confirmed that the finish of two of the upcoming events has been moved after locals complained about road closures.
The governing body said in a statement that the change in finish location was made “due to recent safety concerns and associated implications regarding the duration of road closures” in the city centre. According to the UCI, the majority of roads in Perth will now be able to open earlier than planned, while “additional stress on the road network will be minimised” as the race’s official parking will now be moved to Scone. However, the governing body also noted that Perth will “continue to enjoy the economic benefits of the event as the Event Village will remain at the Perth Concert Hall”.
“We would like to thank all residents and businesses for your engagement over the last couple of months, as we have spoken to many of you at our community engagement sessions across the route, through our dedicated inbox and on social media channels,” the statement said.
