A15 Yaxley Loop Road - 23 July 2023
A508 Roade Bypass - 21 August 2023
A523 Poynton Relief Road - 6 March 2023
A582 Preston Western Distributor Road - 3 July 2023
A585 Little Singleton Bypass - 18 December 2023 (single lane running)
A3822 Forder Valley Link Road - 28 February 2023
A5010 Etruria Valley Link Road - 23 January 2023

I expect that there are more, so help appreciated.

Although not complete, the A9 diversion north of Perth and a section of the new road west of the A93 opened to traffic last year. It will be at least a year before the new bridge over the Tay is open though. I don't know the exact dates.

I'm sure I came across a new road in the central belt towards the end of last year too, but can't think where. It wasn't a big scheme though.

From the SABRE Wiki: Cross Tay Link Road :


The Cross Tay Link Road is a long term objective of Perth and Kinross Council to provide a third crossing point of the River Tay to the north of Perth, which is now due for completion in Spring 2025. Since first proposed, the route has seen several design changes.

The nearby village of Winchburgh is currently growing with the addition of substantial areas of new housing, and is clearly seen as being a new dormitory village for commuters to Edinburgh and further afield.
