Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the repairs to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.

Commenting on the repairs, Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Unit Representative, said: “These essential works will repair the section of damaged parapet and allow the removal of the temporary barrier, returning the slip to normal use.

“The traffic management proposed 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.

“We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential repairs 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.”
