Motorists travelling on the A90 between Perth and Dundee will face lane closures and traffic-slowing measures over the next 12 days as £345,000 worth of resurfacing works takes place.
The improvements will address defects in the road surface on the A90 southbound near Longforgan, with work getting under way from today (May 31).
The project is scheduled to take place over eight nights between 7.30pm and 6.30am, with all work expected to be completed by 6.30am on Saturday, June 11.
However, no works are programmed to take place between June 2-4.
To ensure the safety of road workers and motorists, lane closures with temporary traffic signals and a 10mph convoy system will be in place during working hours.
In addition, the Longforgan off-slip leading to Main Street will be closed today and the Longforgan off-slip leading to Orchard Way will be closed tomorrow, and Thursday and Friday this week.
Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing improvements to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
BEAR Scotland’s north east unit representative Ian Stewart said: “This £345,000 investment from Transport Scotland will greatly improve and strengthen this section of the A90, as well as create a smoother and safer journey for motorists.
“We’ve taken steps to minimise disruption for motorists as much as possible during the improvements, including carrying out the works overnight and removing all traffic management during the daytime to further limit any impact to motorists.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential improvements on the A90.
“We encourage road users to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date traffic information and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
BEAR adds that materials removed from the existing carriageway will be recycled using SEPA approved methods.
