M90 Roadwords - diversions through Gateside
We have received the following information from Amey, which carries out trunk road works in our area. These works are imminent and the full details and contact points are below.:
Amey is beginning work to carry out a £1.25 million refurbishment of Glenhead Bridge on the M90 near Glenfarg in Perth and Kinross from Monday 5th May.
The essential maintenance, which Amey is undertaking on behalf of Transport Scotland, will take place between Monday 5th May and Monday 25th August.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and the travelling public, work will be undertaken using 24/7 lane closures on each M90 carriageway followed by a contraflow. Work will include upgrades to the crossover points, a full bridge deck refurbishment and replacement of bridge parapets and safety barriers.
The refurbishment is scheduled to take place under two phases, as follows:
Phase 1 - Monday 5th May to Monday 2nd June
a. Crossover point upgrades to facilitate the contraflow traffic management needed to deliver the deck refurbishment and replacement of bridge parapets and safety barriers.
b. 24/7 lane closures on each carriageway.
On Monday 5th May the M90 northbound will be closed overnight between Junctions 8 and 9 from 7.30pm to 6.30am. The 24/7 lane closures will be in place on the M90 northbound from 6.30am on Tuesday 6th May.
During the overnight road closure M90 northbound traffic can exit the M90 at Junction 8 and follow the A91 to Gateside. Traffic can then turn left onto the A912 and follow the route to rejoin the M90 northbound at Junction 9.
On Tuesday 6th May the M90 southbound will be closed overnight between Junction 9 and 8 from 7.30pm to 6.30am. The 24/7 lane closures will be in place on the M90 southbound from 6.30am on Wednesday 7th May.
During the overnight road closure M90 southbound traffic can exit the M90 at Junction 9 and follow the A912 to Gateside. Traffic can then turn right onto the A91 and follow the route to rejoin the M90 southbound at Junction 8.
Phase 2 - Monday 2nd June to Monday 25th August
a. A full bridge deck refurbishment including concrete repairs, waterproofing, kerbing, surfacing and new expansion joints.
b. Replacement of the central reserve safety barrier, bridge parapet and safety barriers.
c. A contraflow will be in place 24/7.
Further communications will be issued in advance of the contraflow works.
