Overnight works to renew the road surface on a section of the southbound M90/A90 road south of Junction 1A Queensferry are set to next week.

The southbound M90 will be closed at Queensferry Junction from 9pm to 6am on the nights of December 11, 12, 13, and 14. The work will be carried out by BEAR Scotland.

A diversion route will be in place from Junction 1A Queensferry via the A904 Builyeon Road to Echline Junction, taking the third exit onto the A9000 bus lane towards Edinburgh. Traffic will then join the A90, continuing via the A902 Maybury Road and A8 Glasgow Road to Newbridge.

This diversion will add roughly 14 minutes to affected journeys.

During these closures, all traffic will be able to use the public transport link from Echline Junction. 

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East network manager, said: “These surfacing improvements on the M90/A90 trunk road will remove defects in the road surface such as potholes and cracks, creating safer and smoother journeys for motorists.

“It is essential for safety that we close the carriageway during these works, however we’ve scheduled them at night to minimise any disruption.

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