Warning of delays as A90 roadworks start

Roadworks will create delays on the A90 near Inveraldie from tomorrow as workers resurface the southbound carriageway.

Lanes will be closed on both the northbound and southbound carriageways to allow for traffic ma n a g e m e n t installation.

Workers will operate a contraflow system between Tinkle Tap and Inveraldie from Monday to next Saturday.

Single-lane traffic will travel on the northbound carriageway while workers resurface the A90 southbound carriageway.

Tealing and Murroes junctions and crossovers will close to both northbound and southbound traffic during the works.

Road workers will put signed diversions in place around each junction.

The work aims to fix defects in the road surface on the southbound section of the A90.

The project targets the road surface between the A928 Kirriemuir junction and Inveraldie.

Project managers have closed bus stops within the working area.

Bear Scotland will provide a shuttle bus to transport passengers to alternative bus stops in line with the main bus timetable.

Ian Stewart, Bear Scotland’s north-east unit representative, said the work would create a safer and smoother road surface for motorists.

He said: “This £ 220,000 investment from Transport Scotland will greatly improve and strengthen this section of the A90.

“The tra f f ic management is essential to ensure the safety of road workers and motorists during this project.”

He added: “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 Tr a ff i c Scotland website for upto-date traffic information and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
