Drivers warned about roadworks

Drivers are being warned about roadworks at the Halbeath roundabout on the A92.

Overnight roadworks will start today and last for five nights.

The £11,000 project involves resurfacing, drainage and road marking improvement work.

The improvements are to take place between 7.30pm and 6.30am, finishing at 6.30am on Saturday.

Lane closures on the approaches to the roundabout and on Halbeath roundabout itself will be in place to ensure the safety of the workforce and the travelling public.

All traffic management will be removed before the morning peak hours.

Consultation has taken place with local stakeholders to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise inconvenience.

Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland’s north east representative, said: “These works have been designed to improve the general condition and safety of Halbeath roundabout for motorists.

“The improvements have been scheduled to take place overnight and avoid working at the weekend to reduce any disruption during the works.

“We would however encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
