Overnight carriageway closures in both directions 3-25 June 2025
A three-week programme of overnight resurfacing and bridge works on the M90 between Junctions 2 and 3 is set to take place between 3 and 25 June.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will renew the carriageway at two locations on the M90 southbound and one location on the M90 northbound, where they will also carry out bridge joint replacement works.
The works will be carried out between 20:00 and 06:00 on Monday to Friday nights. Carriageway closures will be in place for the safety of motorists and the workforce.
Works on the southbound carriageway will be carried out in two phases:
- On weekday nights from Monday 9 to Thursday 19 June, the M90 southbound will be closed at both Junction 3 Halbeath and Junction 2A Crossgates. The same diversion route will be in place, this time affecting southbound traffic on both the M90 and A92.
- On the nights of Friday 20, Monday 23 and Wednesday 25 June, the M90 southbound will be closed at Junction 3, Halbeath. A signed diversion will be in place from Halbeath Junction to M90 Junction 2, via Sandpiper Drive, Lapwing Drive, St Margarets Roundabout, Pitreavie Roundabout and the A823(M), adding approximately seven minutes to journey times. Traffic joining the M90 from the A92 on these nights will not be affected.
Works on the northbound carriageway will take place over the same period:
- On weekday nights from Tuesday 3 to Friday 20 June, the M90 northbound will be closed at Junction 2, with a signed diversion in place via the A823(M) westbound to Pitreavie Roundabout, returning along the A823(M) eastbound to rejoin the M90 northbound. This diversion will add approximately five minutes to journey times.
- During northbound closures, the northbound on-slip at Junction 1C will also be closed to avoid conflict with merging traffic between Junction 1C and the closure point at Junction 2. A diversion will be in place via the A985 west along Admiralty Road, then Kings Road to Pitreavie Roundabout to join the A823(M). This will add an additional 4 minutes to affected journeys.
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and other relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South-East Network Manager said: “These works on the M90 will address and repair defects in the road surface, creating safer and smoother journeys for motorists.
“It is essential for the safety of the workforce that we close the carriageway during the works, however we’ll be making the most of these closures to carry out resurfacing and bridge joint replacement works at the same time.
“We thank motorists for their patience while our teams carry out these improvements.”
Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website www.traffic.gov.scot or @trafficscotland on X for up-to-date travel information and allowing extra time for their journey.
All work is weather dependent and subject to postponement in the event of adverse conditions.
