A90 Toll Of Birness | Overnight Works

Amey is undertaking overnight surfacing improvements on the A90 near Toll of Birness in Aberdeenshire between Sunday 28th September and Friday 17th October.

The £606,000 project will deliver improvements to the A90 carriageway between 1.8 kilometres north of the A948 roundabout at Ellon and 200 metres beyond the Toll of Birness junction with the A952.

The work, which Amey is undertaking on behalf of Transport Scotland, will complete two resurfacing schemes back-to-back in order to minimise disruption to the travelling public.

To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists the essential maintenance will be carried out under overnight road closures between 7.30pm and 6.30am. There will be no overnight works on Friday or Saturday nights during the work period.

Additionally, temporary traffic lights will be in operation on Friday 3rd October between 6.30am and 3.30pm.

The following diversion routes will be in place each night during the road closures.

Vehicles travelling north on the A90 can leave the A90 at Ellon on the A948 and travel north to New Deer. At New Deer traffic continues north onto the A981 towards Strichen/Fraserburgh/New Pitsligo before reaching the A981’s junction with the A950.

Traffic can then turn right onto the A950 and head towards Mintlaw. At the Roundabout at the Square in Mintlaw traffic can take the second exit to continue on the A950 towards Longside and Peterhead before rejoining the A90 at Peterhead.

Vehicles travelling south on the A90 can join the A950 at Peterhead and follow the above route in reverse. From Peterhead there will be local access on the A90 south to the Pitlurg junction. Please be aware that there will be no access to the A952 at Toll of Birness.

The diversion route will require 22 minutes additional journey time.

Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
