On behalf of Claymore Roads, working for Dundee City Council and Angus Council, BEAR Scotland will be supervising essential road surfacing improvements at four locations on the A92 between Balgillo Roundabout and Ethiebeaton Roundabout. The work is set to begin on Sunday 9 October, for three weeks.

The project will see almost 3km of carriageway resurfaced, creating a safer and smoother journey for motorists. The improvements will be made on the A92 eastbound at Buddon Burn to Woodhill, Salmondsmuir to Elliot at Nether Kelly and Balcathie to Elliot as well as a westbound section between Salmondsmuir to Muirdrum Interchange.

To minimise disruption to road users, all work will take place overnight between 7pm and 7am. No work will take place on Friday and Saturday nights.

To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists, the slip road at the Muirdrum Interchange westbound will be closed on Thursday 20 October. Off slip traffic will be diverted along the A92 westbound to the Upper Victoria interchange, then on to A92 eastbound to the Muirdrum interchange. On slip traffic will be diverted via the A92 eastbound to the Salmondsmuir interchange, then on the A92 westbound to the Muirdrum interchange.

To ensure the safety of road users and road workers, a 10mph convoy traffic management system will be in operation at all other locations during working hours. There will be no traffic management in place between 7am and 7pm, minimising disruption to road users during the day.

Consultation is being carried out with emergency services, local authorities and transport organisations ahead of the project, to inform them of the plans and the traffic management that will be in place each week.

A spokesperson for BEAR Scotland said: “This resurfacing programme is essential to ensure the continued safe use of these areas on the A92. The improvements, funded by Claymore Roads, are part of our long term A92 road maintenance programme and will help to ensure that the route remains fit for purpose for years to come.

“To help limit disruption as much as possible, we have planned these works to take place overnight as well as avoiding the busier Friday and Saturday nights, and our teams will do all they can to complete the project as quickly and safely as possible.

“We would encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance, leave some extra time for travel and ask them to drive carefully through any traffic management which is in place for their safety.”

Works are being undertaken by Breedon Trading Ltd on behalf of Claymore Roads and supervised by BEAR Scotland Ltd.
