The final phase in a £2 million road works programme for the M90 gets underway next week.
Repairs and resurfacing to sections of the northbound concrete carriageway will take place between junctions 5 and 6 (Gairneybridge and Kinross), starting on Saturday June 25.
The road works are expected to take approximately 11 days to complete and will repair a total length of just over a kilometre of the carriageway which has deteriorated, as well as replace some of the joints in the surface.
To allow the works to take place safely, a contraflow system will be in place. The junction 6 northbound off-slip will also be closed for seven nights to allow teams to complete resurfacing works adjacent to the off-slip. The night time closures run from Sunday June 26 between 7.30pm and 6.30am.
The works follow on from previous road works carried out between junctions 3 to 4, junctions 4 to 5 and the northbound off-slip since April this year.
Andy Thompson, Bear Scotland’s north east representative, said: “We’re pleased to move onto the final phase of the £2M investment into the M90 for this year, which will ensure our network continues to operate at the highest standard.
“We’ve scheduled the programme to take place ahead of the peak summer period to minimise disruption, and we’re carrying out the sections that affect the Junction 6 northbound off-slip at night to limit the impact to motorists.
“As with all our works, we would encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance and visit the Traffic Scotland website for travel information before setting out.”
Almost 30,000 vehicles use this section of the M90 on a daily basis.
