Project Details
Description
Resurfacing works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a section of the M90 carriageway (southbound) at Balmanno Hill, located between Glenfarg and Bridge of Earn, Perth and Kinross. The works are required as the carriageway is currently displaying various structural defects, such as fretting, rutting, cracking and patching.
The scheme is 1.3 kilometres in length, with an area of approximately 1.59 hectares.
Construction activities and the associated plant and machinery required are as follows:
- Implementation of Traffic Management (TM) and marking out site (TM plant);
- Removal of existing surfacing and milling to agreed depths (planer, wagon, lorries);
- Resurfacing to the existing road levels using TS2010 aggregate, AC binder, AC base, and potentially EME2 (paver, roller);
- Reinstatement of road markings, linings, and studs (lorries/wagons and plant); and,
- Removal of TM.
The proposed construction is programmed to be undertaken and completed within the 2025-2026 financial year for approximately twelve working days. The works will be undertaken during both day and night-time working hours to reduce the construction period.
Works will be undertaken within existing TM arrangements (contraflow) along the M90 associated with Phase 2 of the Glenhead Bridge Refurbishment scheme, near Glenfarg.
