INSTALLING TRAFFIC COUNTERS ON THE M90 NORTHBOUND NEAR KIRKLISTON

December 13, 2021

  • Overnight road closure Wednesday 15 December 2021

Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland is planning to install traffic counters on a recently resurfaced section of the M90 northbound carriageway near Kirkliston on the night of Wednesday 15 December.

For the safety of workers and road users, the M90 will be closed northbound between M9 Junction 1A and M90 Junction 1, from 20:00 until 06:00 on the night of 15 December.

A signed diversion route will be in place for northbound traffic, via M9 Junction 1 Newbridge, the A8 Glasgow Road, the A902 Maybury Road and the A90 Queensferry Road to rejoin the M90 at Junction 1. This diversion will add an estimated 9 minutes and 4.1 miles to affected journeys.

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These works will complete a scheme of improvements on the M90 Northbound.

“A carriageway closure is essential for safety, however we’ve planned the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption. We will do all we can to complete the project as quickly as possible.

“We thank motorists in advance for their patience.”
