A section of the A90 Kingsway in Dundee is set to benefit from surfacing improvements with work set to get underway on Friday.
The £300,000 improvements will address defects in the road surface on the westbound section of the A90 between the Tesco off-slip and Clepington on-slip, creating a safer and smoother road surface for motorists.
The project is programmed to get underway from 7.30pm on Friday 26 March and is planned to take place over one weekend using 24-hour working, with all improvements expected to be completed by 6.30am on Monday 29 March.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists, the A90 westbound will be closed between the Tesco off-slip and Clepington on-slip throughout the duration of the project. A signed diversion will be in place via Clepington Roundabout. The eastbound carriageway will remain fully open and access to The Kingsway Retail Park will be maintained.
Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing project to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.
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 improvements, Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative, said: “This £300,000 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 to ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists during this project. To help minimise delays as much as possible, we’ve planned the improvements to take place over one weekend using 24-hour working, and our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.
“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.”
