Routine bridge inspections and maintenance works for the M90 Friarton Bridge and M90 Junction 10 Craigend Interchange near Perth is underway this week.
The project will involve cleaning the bridge deck joints, channels and verges as well as drainage clearance and landscaping maintenance. Inspections will also be carried out on the bridges on the interchange.
The overnight maintenance project began on Monday 5 October and is programmed to take place between 7.30pm and 6.30am over five nights.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists, a series of lane closures will be in place during working hours. The first three nights will involve a slip road closure on the M90 Junction 10 Craigend Interchange followed by lane closures on Friarton Bridge for the remaining nights. Signed diversion routes will be in place when required.
The M90 will remain open throughout the project with traffic management being removed outwith working hours.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s Operating Company Representative for the North East, said: “These maintenance works are part of our commitment to ensuring that the North East network continues to be of the highest standard.
“We’ve taken steps to minimise disruption for motorists as much as possible during the project, including carrying out the works overnight helping limit the impact to road users.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential maintenance works on the M90. We encourage road users to plan their journey in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date traffic information and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
The works will be carried out by BEAR Scotland and have been planned in consultation with Police Scotland, Perth and Kinross Council and Traffic Scotland.
