MOTORISTS are being warned of disruption with overnight roadworks taking place on the M90 next week.

Overnight gantry repairs at junction 1C Admiralty will mean the slip road exiting the southbound carriageway of the motorway will be closed on Monday night (December 5).

The closure will be in place from 8pm until 6am. A diversion route for traffic wishing to exit at Junction 1C will be signposted via the M90 southbound to turn at Junction 1B, before returning to exit via the M90 Junction 1C northbound off-slip.

Chris Tracey, BEAR Scotland’s South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: “We always avoid closing roads wherever it is safe and practical to do so, however the specific locations of this overhead gantry is such that a slip road closure is necessary for the safety of road users and our operatives.

“We’ve scheduled the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption and we thank motorists in advance for their patience and understanding.”

The works are weather dependent and could be postponed and rearranged at short notice if high winds are forecast.

Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders including local authorities and Police Scotland in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
