A section of the A90 southbound in Dundee is set to benefit from surfacing improvements worth £50,000, with works scheduled to begin on Sunday 26 June.

The improvements will address defects in the road surface on the southbound section of the A90 on approach to the traffic lights at the Kingsway / Forfar Road junction, creating a safer and smoother road surface for motorists.

The project is programmed to begin on Sunday 26 June and is expected to take place over three nights. Works will take place between 7.30pm and 6.30am each night, with all works expected to be complete by 6.30am on Wednesday 29 June, subject to weather conditions.

The works will take place as follows:

• Sunday 26 to Monday 27 June (two nights, 7.30pm – 6.30am) – To ensure the safety of roadworkers as well as motorists, the A90 southbound will be closed from Claverhouse/Fountainbleau Junction. All traffic will be diverted via Fountainbleaue Drive onto Pitkerro Road or Claverhouse Road and then onto Old Glamis Road. Morrisons Bus Stop on the A90 southbound will also be closed during this time, with passengers advised to use Fountainbleau Drive or Claverhouse Road stops instead.

• Tuesday 28 June (one night, 7.30pm – 6.30am) – Lane closures with temporary traffic lights and a 10mph convoy system will be in place for safety for motorists and roadworkers whilst the road markings are reinstated.

Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing 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 £50,000 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.

“The traffic management is essential for ensuring the safety of our workforce as well as motorists, however we’ve planned the improvements to take place overnight to help limit disruption.

“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 allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
