Million Pound Maintenance Improvements For M90

A £1 million routine maintenance programme lasting nine weeks will see a 1 kilometre stretch of the concrete carriageway and two bridges improved on the M90.

From Thursday 8 October maintenance works on the M90 northbound carriageway between Junction 5, Gairneybridge, and Junction 6, Kinross, works to refurbish the north and south bridges at M90 Junction 6, Kinross, are planned for nine weeks and will begin on Monday 12 October. 
 
The M90 near Kinross is used by almost 30,000 vehicles a day and the improvements are designed to enhance the safety of the road at this location.  

The works will involve road surface improvements and upgrading of the bridge deck waterproofing and bridge parapets.
 

During the improvements traffic management will be in place with alternate lane closures during the bridge improvements above the M90.  

A contraflow system on the main M90 will be in operation for the first week to allow for the carriageway repairs to take place.
 
Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative, said: “This £1 million investment from Transport Scotand will allow us to carry out maintenance works to ensure our network continues to operate at the highest standard. 
 
“We’ve planned these works following consultation with local authorities, businesses and travel operators, and every effort will be made to reduce disruption to road users.
 
“We encourage motorists to plan their journey in advance and check the Traffic Scotland website before setting out.”
