• Overnight works commence Friday 27 January 2023

Overnight resurfacing works on the slip road from the A92 onto the M90 southbound at Junction 2A are set to begin on Friday 27 January.

Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will undertake the project from 27 January to 11 February, excluding Saturday and Sunday nights.

For the safety of workers and road users, the slip road from the A92 to the M90 southbound and the main carriageway of the M90 southbound between Junctions 3 and 2 will be closed from 20:00 until 06:00 each night.

During these closures, a diversion route for southbound traffic will be in place via Sanderling Way, Sandpiper Drive, Lapwing Drive, Carnegie Avenue and the A823(M), adding approximately 2.4 miles and 8 minutes to affected journeys. Northbound traffic will be unaffected.

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.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s Southeast Network Manager, said: “These surfacing improvements will address and repair defects in the road surface such as potholes and cracks, creating safer and smoother journeys for motorists.

“It is essential for the safety of the workforce that we close the carriageway during these works, however we’ve scheduled this during overnight hours to minimise any disruption.

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

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website www.traffic.gov.scot for up-to-date travel information and allowing extra time for their journey.
