A90 Upper North Water Bridge | Essential Maintenance Work
Amey is undertaking essential maintenance on the A90 Upper North Water Bridge located between Stracathro and Laurencekirk from Monday 13th October.
The bridge carries A90 trunk road traffic over the River North Esk at the border between Angus and Aberdeenshire.
The maintenance work, which Amey is undertaking on behalf of Transport Scotland, will include resurfacing, waterproofing, bridge joint replacement and safety barrier upgrades on the bridge’s southbound carriageway.
This essential maintenance is required to maintain the safety and integrity of the bridge and is scheduled to last for 10 weeks.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists the essential maintenance will be carried out using a contraflow, with one lane running in each direction on the northbound carriageway.
The contraflow will be in place from approximately one kilometre south of Upper North Water Bridge to 750 metres north of the structure.
Traffic travelling northbound on the A90 will still be able to enter and exit at the Edzell/Fettercairn/Edzell Woods junction as normal.
Traffic travelling southbound on the A90 will not have access to this junction during the work. Traffic can continue south to Stracathro, where they can turn and access the A90 northbound.
The work will benefit more than 18,200 vehicles who use this route each day.
Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
