Project Details

Description

Resurfacing works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a section of the A90 carriageway located east of West Kinfauns, Perth and Kinross. The carriageway is displaying surface defects such as fretting and rutting.

Construction activities will entail the resurfacing of the A90 carriageway with the activities as follows:

  • Installation of Traffic Management (TM);
  • Milling of carriageway to agreed depths;
  • Resurfacing of the carriageway to existing road levels using TS2010 surface course, binder and base;
  • Reinstatement of road markings, linings and studs; and
  • Removal of TM

The following plant/machinery/vehicles may be used throughout the scheme:

  • Roller(s);
  • Paver;
  • Planer;
  • Bitumen tanks;
  • Extrusion liner;
  • Paint tanker; and
  • Wagon(s).

The construction is programmed to be undertaken and completed within the 2026-2027 financial year, proposed for May 2026 for a duration of eight nights.

TM for the scheme will entail A90 lane closures for the duration of works. A convoy system will be in operation with carriageway left 1 lane closures, then switching to carriageway left 2 lane closures. Traffic Management measures will be active between 19:00-06:00.
