• Average speed cameras in place to enforce 40mph limit

• Overnight slip road closures until 1 May 2026

BEAR Scotland is reminding drivers to comply with temporary reduced speed limits through bridge works on the M90 at Junction 2, Masterton, as a further series of overnight slip road closures is confirmed.

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

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

“Drivers who exceed speed limits are liable to be fined and receive penalty points on their licence. Average speed cameras managed by Police Scotland are in place to help enforce this.

“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.”

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 30 March to 3 April, 6 to 10 April, 13 to 17 April, 20 to 24 April and 27 April to 3 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 30 March to 3 April, 6 to 10 April, 16 to 17 April, 20 to 24 April and 30 April to 3 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 slip road from the M90 Junction 2 southbound off-slip are planned between 20:00 and 06:00 on the nights of 30 March to 3 April, 6 to 10 April and 13 to 17 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.
