Essential maintenance is planned for the A90 Coupar Angus East Overbridge on the Kingsway in Dundee with works set to get underway next week.
The project will involve teams replacing some of the existing bridge components on the south end of the bridge that are crucial to the continued safe operation of the structure in years to come.
The overnight maintenance is scheduled to start on Monday 11 January and will take place over two nights between 7.30pm and 5.30am with all work expected to be completed by 5.30am on Wednesday 13 January.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists, the overbridge will be closed overnight during working hours. A signed diversion route will be in place north of the works to A90 Kings Cross. The bridge will be fully open during the daytime.
Strict physical distancing protocols, in accordance with Scottish Government COVID-19 guidance, will be implemented to protect teams and ensure they remain safe at all times.
Commenting on the works, Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative said: “These essential maintenance works on the Coupar Angus Overbridge in Dundee will help ensure that the structure continues to operate safely for all motorists and functions to the highest standard.
“The traffic management is essential to keep everyone safe during this project, however to minimise any impact to road users as much as possible we’re carrying out the works at night. Teams will do all they can to complete the essential maintenance as quickly and safely as they can.
“We encourage all road users to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website before they travel and allowing some extra time to reach their destination.”
