• Three nights of investigation works beginning Monday 3 June

BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, is set to carry out investigation works on the M90 at the Admirality and Masterton Junctions.

The works are set to take place over three nights from Monday 3 June until Wednesday 5 June 2024 between the hours of 20:00 and 06:00.

For the safety of workers and road users, the M90 will be closed between junctions 1C to 2 at Admiralty South, Admiralty North and junction two at Masterton Viaduct each night.

Northbound

During these overnight closures, a diversion route will be signposted from Admiralty Junction to Masterton Viaduct.

Motorists will exit off the M90 at the junction 1C northbound off-slip where they will take the second exit to M90 junction 1C northbound on-slip. Motorists will then continue onto the A823 westbound to Pitrevie Roundabout. They will then take the fourth exit onto the A823 eastbound and then onto the M90 junction 2 northbound on-slip. This will add an estimated 2 miles and 5 minutes to affected journeys.

Southbound

During these overnight closures, a diversion route will be signposted from Masterton Viaduct to Admiralty Junction.

Motorists will exit off the M90 at the junction 2 off-slip southbound, where they will continue onto the A823 westbound to Pitrevie Roundabout. They will then take the first exit onto the B980 Kings Road southbound where they will follow Kings Road to Castle Road Roundabout. Motorists will then take the first exit onto the A985 eastbound Admiralty Road to Admiralty Roundabout and then take the third exit onto the M90 on-slip southbound. This will add an estimated 2.5 miles and 5 minutes to affected journeys.

Any traffic travelling from Pitrevie Roundabout onto the A823 eastbound will be diverted to the Admiralty Roundabout. Any traffic aiming to travel onto the M90 northbound will take the first exit onto the M90 junction 1C on-slip northbound. Any traffic aiming to travel on the M90 southbound will take the third exit onto the M90 junction 1C on-slip southbound.

Consultation has taken place with relevant stakeholders in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.

Dave Bishop, BEAR Scotland’s South East Bridges Manager, said: “These investigation works on the M90 Admiralty Junction & Masterton Viaduct will identify the current condition to programme future repair works.

“It is essential for safety that we close the carriageway during these works, however we’ve scheduled them to be carried out primarily during overnight hours to minimise any disruption.

“We thank motorists in advance for their patience while our teams carry out these improvements.”
