A road safety improvement project on the A90 Inchture to Swallow Roundabout in Dundee worth £170,000 is underway this week.

The project will involve upgrading the existing vehicle safety barriers to improve roadside safety along this section of the A90.

The safety improvements began this week and are programmed to take up to six weeks to complete. To minimise disruption to road users as much as possible, the project is scheduled to take place in phases with the programme of work outlined below:

 

  • A90 Inchture to Longforgan Eastbound –To continue until Sunday 1 November

A single lane closure will be in place 24/7.

  • A90 Longforgan to Inchture Westbound – Sunday 1 November to Sunday 22 November (three weeks)

A single lane closure will be in place 24/7.

  • A90 approach to Swallow Roundabout Eastbound – Monday 23 November to Sunday 29 November (seven nights)

A single lane closure will be in place between 7.30pm and 4am each night. All traffic management will be removed out-with working hours, however a 30mph speed limit will remain in place for safety.

  • A90 Swallow Roundabout Westbound – Monday 30 November to Sunday 6 December (seven nights)

A single lane closure will be in place between 7.30pm and 4am each night. All traffic management will be removed out-with working hours, however a 30mph speed limit will remain in place for safety.

 

Commenting on the project, Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative said: “Safety is a top priority for both BEAR Scotland and Transport Scotland and the delivery of this project on the A90 is part of our commitment to ensuring the network remains to the highest of standards.

“The traffic management is essential to keep the workforce and road users safe during this project. We’ve taken steps to help minimise disruption to road users including carrying out some of the improvements overnight, however we will do all we can to complete the project as quickly and as safely as possible.

“We would like to thank motorists in advance for their patience during this project and advise them to plan ahead by checking Traffic Scotland for up to date journey information and leave some extra time to reach their destination.”
