WORK to install a new vehicle restraint system between the M90 and Pitreavie Roundabout will see three weeks of road closures. 

To ensure the safety of workers and road users, the A823(M) westbound between the M90 and Pitreavie Roundabout will be closed between 20:00 and 06:00 each Sunday to Thursday night from September 22 to October 12.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These upgrades will improve safety for users of the A823(M). It’s necessary to close the carriageway while we carry out the work, however we’ve scheduled the works at night to minimise disruption.

“We’re grateful to road users for their patience and understanding.”

A signposted diversion route will be in place during the works, directing traffic from M90 Junction 1C Admiralty to Pitreavie Roundabout, via the A985 Admiralty Road and the B980 Kings Road.

This will add approximately 1 mile and 3 minutes to affected journeys.

Consultation took place with all relevant stakeholders including local authorities and Police Scotland in advance of these works.

All the work is weather-dependent and is subject to postponement or cancellation in the event of adverse conditions.
