A90 Northbound near Drumlithie | Resurfacing Works

7th of September 2026, 9:30am to 2nd of October 2026, 6:30am

Road users on the A90 near Drumlithie in Aberdeenshire are set to benefit from a £1.28 million investment that will improve more than two kilometres of the northbound carriageway.

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out resurfacing of the A90 northbound between Monday 7th September and Friday 2nd October.

Resurfacing will take place on approximately 2,080 metres of the A90 northbound carriageway around the Candy Farm junction near Drumlithie.

The improvements will benefit more than 10,600 vehicles who use this route each day, creating a smoother ride for motorists and reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.

The essential maintenance will begin with daytime lane closures to carry out preparatory activities before moving to overnight convoy working and daytime lane closures during resurfacing.

There will also be closures of Rolland Road junction and Station Road junction during the resurfacing phase of work.

Work will be undertaken as follows:

  • Monday 7th September to Wednesday 16th September.
