Consultation has taken place with relevant stakeholders in advance of the works.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These improvements to road markings, reflective studs and drainage on the M90 and A90 will enhance safety for road users.

“It is essential for safety that we close sections of the carriageway while these works are carried out. We have scheduled the closures overnight to minimise disruption as much as possible.

“We thank road users in advance for their patience and understanding.”

All works are weather dependent and may be postponed or cancelled in the event of adverse conditions.
