Please be advised that due to operational reasons, an additional night of works is required to complete the ongoing surfacing improvements on the M90 northbound between Bridge of Earn and Craigend.
The project began on Tuesday 19 April and was expected to be complete by 6.30am on Friday 22 April, however works are now due to be complete by 6.30am on Saturday 23 April, subject to weather conditions.
The traffic management will remain the same as the previous nights, the M90 northbound will be closed just after the Junction 9 off-slip. Traffic will be diverted off the M90 from J9 along the A912 to Marshall Place, King Street, South Street, A85 Dundee Road and then onto the A90 northbound.
A holding area for all vehicles 4.5m in height and over will be put in place just before the Junction 9 off-slip due to the presence of a low railway bridge in King Street. These vehicles will then be escorted through the site when it is safe to do so. Signs will be in place to advise of this restriction.
All relevant stakeholders have been informed of the changes.

A section of the M90 northbound is set to benefit from resurfacing improvements worth £240,000, with works set to get underway from Tuesday 19 April at 7.30pm.
The improvements will address defects in the road surface on the northbound section of the M90 between Bridge of Earn and Craigend, creating a safer and smoother road surface for motorists.
The project is expected to begin on Tuesday 19 April and is planned to take place over three nights. Works are scheduled to take place between 7.30pm and 6.30am each night. Works are expected to be complete by 6.30am on Friday 22 April, subject to weather conditions.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists, the M90 will be closed just after the J9 northbound off-slip. Traffic will be diverted off the M90 from J9 along the A912 to Marshall Place, King Street, South Street, A85 Dundee Road and then onto the A90 northbound.
A holding area for all vehicles 4.5m in height and over will be put in place just before the J9 off-slip due to the presence of a low railway bridge in King Street. These vehicles will then be escorted through the site when it is safe to do so. Signs will be in place to advise of this restriction.
Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing improvements to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
Commenting on the improvements, Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Unit Representative, said: “This £240,000 investment from Transport Scotland will greatly improve and strengthen this section of the M90, as well as create a smoother and safer journey for motorists.
“The M90 northbound closure is essential for keeping our operatives safe as well as motorists. We have taken steps to minimise disruption for motorists by carrying the works overnight and our teams will do their best to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.
“It is vital that any vehicles at 4.5m and over utilise the holding area so they can be escorted safely through the site due to the presence of the low railway bridge in King Street.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential improvements on the M90. We encourage road users to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date traffic information and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
