Project Details

Description

Strategic road safety works are required along a 6.1km (area of 18,000m2) stretch of the A90 between Dundee and Forfar, to reduce collisions, and improve road safety along this route. Works will be undertaken at localised sections within the extents.

The scheme involves installing numerous signs at various locations, upgrading and replacing Vehicle Restraint System (VRS) rope end terminals and upgrading pedestrian crossings. Additionally, vegetation cutback will be necessary in order to improve visibility for road users, covering a length of 104m.

Plant and machinery used will likely include the following (but not limited to):

  • Mini planer;
  • Excavator, and;

The proposed construction is programmed to be completed within the 2025-26 financial year, commencing in July 2025 for approximately two weeks during nighttime hours.

Traffic Management (TM) will likely consist of single lane closures. Specific TM is yet to be determined.
