Works start Thursday 28 October for two nights

A section of the A90 southbound between Perth and Dundee is to benefit from surfacing improvements worth £30,000, with work set to get underway on Thursday 28 October at 7.30pm.

The improvements will address defects in the road surface on the southbound section of the A90 prior to the Inchmichael grade separated junction, creating a safer and smoother road surface for motorists.

The project is scheduled to be begin on Thursday 28 October and will take place over two nights between 7.30pm and 6.30am each night, with all expected to be completed by Saturday 30 October, subject to weather to conditions.

To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists, a single lane closure and off-slip road closure will be in place on the A90 southbound carriageway with a signed diversion. All traffic management will be removed during the daytime.

Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the surfacing improvements to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.

Commenting on the improvements, Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Unit Representative, said: “This £30,000 investment from Transport Scotland will greatly improve and strengthen this section of the A90, as well as create a smoother and safer journey for motorists.

“We’ve taken steps to minimise disruption for motorists as much as possible during the improvements, including carrying out the works overnight and removing the traffic management outwith working hours.

“We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential improvements on the A90. We encourage road users to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date traffic information and allowing some extra time to reach their destination.”
