THE A92 Crossgates Roundabout is set for resurfacing improvements worth £100,000 due to begin this Sunday.

The improvements will involve resurfacing the carriageway around Crossgates Roundabout, ensuring that the road remains in a safe working condition for years to come.

The project will begin on Sunday March 24 between 7.30pm and 6.30am each night for five nights.

To minimise disruption as much as possible, the project has been split into five overnight phases with different traffic management arrangements in place.

Some approaches and exits will be closed across different nights during the project while teams resurface the roundabout. A series of local diversions will be in place each night and signs will be erected in advance to advise motorists of the works.

All traffic management and any diversions will be lifted during the daytime.

Consultation has taken place with the local authority, businesses, local residents and bus operators in advance of the resurfacing to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.

Commenting on the project, Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative said: “This £100,000 project for the A92 Crossgates Roundabout will allow our teams to resurface the full carriageway around the roundabout, helping to create a smoother and safer road surface.

“Given the location of the project we’ve arranged for it to be completed in four different overnight phases across five nights, with alternate lane closures and diversions in place for safety and to protect our teams as well as road users during the works.

“Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible, and we encourage all road users to follow any temporary signs or diversions which are in place for their safety and to plan ahead by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date journey information.”
