• Overnight slip road closures and reduced speed limit to continue through May 2026

Bridge works at M90 Junction 2 will continue into June, with a temporary reduced speed limit through the junction and an additional series of overnight slip road closures confirmed for the month of May.

The project to refurbish Masterton Viaduct, which carries the motorway at Junction 2, has been under way since November 2025.

The following additional overnight closures of the M90 Junction 1C northbound on-slip and the M90 Junction 2 on-slip and off-slip have now been confirmed:

• Closures of the M90 Junction 1C northbound on-slip are planned between 20:00 and 06:00 on the nights of 1 May, 6 to 8 May, and 25 to 29 May. A diversion route will be signposted via Admiralty Road, the A985, the B980 Kings Road and the A823(M) to join the M90 northbound at Junction 2, adding approximately six minutes and two miles onto affected journeys.
• Closures of the M90 Junction 2 southbound on-slip are planned between 20:00 and 06:00 on the nights of 1 May and 4 to 8 May. Traffic will be diverted via the M90 northbound to turn at Junction 3 and return southbound, adding an estimated eight minutes and 6 miles onto affected journeys.
• Closures of the M90 Junction 2 southbound off-slip are planned between 20:00 and 06:00 on the nights of 29 to 30 April. A diversion will be signposted via the M90 southbound to turn at Junction 1C and return northbound to exit via the Junction 2 northbound off-slip. This will add approximately one minute and one mile to affected journeys.

Various overnight lane closures will also be in place, and the hard shoulders in both directions will remain closed at all times.

David Bishop, BEAR Scotland’s South East Bridges Manager, said: “The current phase of work on the edges of the bridge requires continuing traffic restrictions through the month of May, including a reduced speed limit of 40mph to protect workers and motorists while the bridge parapets are being upgraded.

“We’re grateful to motorists for their understanding and cooperation. Our people may not be visible at the roadside, but please be aware they are working just out of sight on the sides of the bridge on dayshifts and nightshifts.”
