Overnight diversion on A90

A SECTION of the A90 near Dundee will be closed for resurfacing works from next week.

A £525,000 project i s taking place between the Inchture off-slip and the Inchture on-slip, west of Dundee, from Monday for 10 nights.

The final night of works is expected to take place on Thursday July 13. The improvements will take place between 7.30pm6.30am each night, with no works taking place on Saturday July 8.

During these hours a half-mile stretch of the A90 eastbound will be closed with traffic diverted via the on and off slips at Inchture.

The short diversion will be removed during the daytime. However, a lane closure will remain i n place i n t he Dundeebound carriageway outside of working hours during weekdays. The lane closures will not be i n place over the weekend.

Transport Scotland says the scheme “will ensure a one kilometre section of the Dundee-bound carriageway from the Inchture over bridge, used by 13,600 vehicles every day, continues to operate safely for years to come.”

Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland’s North East representative, said: “This £520,000 investment from Transport Scotland will greatly i mprove 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.”
