Project Details
Description
The works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a stretch of the A90 carriageway to the northeast of Ellon, Aberdeenshire. The carriageway is presenting signs of continual deterioration.
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, AC20 binder and AC32 base with targeted binder and deeper inlays in places;
- Reinstatement of road markings, linings and studs; and
- Removal of TM.
The following plant/machinery/vehicles may be used throughout the scheme:
- Planer;
- Wagon(s);
- Bitumen tank;
- Extrusion liner;
- Paint tanker;
- Paver; and
- Roller(s).
The works are scheduled to be completed within the 2025/2026 financial year (ending on 1 April 2026) for a duration of seven to ten nights.
TM for the scheme is likely to entail A90 carriageway closures and diversions via the A948, A981 and A950 carriageways.
