The lane closures will be implemented in approximately 2km sections over the 12km scheme extents.

No work will take place on Friday 21, Saturday 22 or Sunday 23 February, with work continuing from Monday 24 February as before. All work is expected to be completed by Friday 28 February.

Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative, said: “Unfortunately adverse weather conditions brought in by Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis last week resulted in us moving our drainage investigations for sections of the M90 back by a week, with work now underway.

“We’ve planned the project to take place using 24-hour working, with all work removed on Friday and over the weekend to keep any disruption to a minimum. Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safety as possible.
