Amey is carrying out overnight drainage improvements on the M90 near Balmanno Hill from Monday 2nd March to Friday 1st May.
The £390,000 project, which Amey is undertaking on behalf of Transport Scotland, will improve drainage and safety on the M90 at the Dron bend, located approximately five kilometres north of Glenfarg.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists, the essential maintenance will be carried out under nighttime lane two restrictions on the M90 in both directions between 7.30pm and 6.30am.
The essential works will increase overall safety and reduce surface water on the carriageway for more than 26,000 motorists who use this route each day.
