A90 South of Rathen | Overnight Resurfacing Work

The A90 near Rathen in Aberdeenshire is set to benefit from a £942,000 investment that will deliver improvements to 1750 metres of the road surface.

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out overnight work on the A90 to the south of Rathen between Sunday 9th February and Friday 7th March.

Resurfacing will take place between Lonmay and Rathen, from north of the A952 junction to 430 metres south of the B9032 junction.

To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists the essential maintenance will be carried out under overnight road closures of the A90 between 7.30pm and 6.30am.

There will be no overnight works on Friday 14th and Saturday 15th February, Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd February, and Friday 28th February and Saturday 1st March. Traffic management will be removed by 6.30am on Saturday 8th March.

A signed diversion will be in place. Northbound traffic will leave the A90 at Howe o’Buchan Roundabout in Peterhead, taking the first exit onto the A950 and continuing through Mintlaw to take the A981 north through Strichen. Traffic for Fraserburgh will continue on the A981 and local traffic will turn right onto the B9032 at Memsie and follow to Rathen. Southbound traffic will take the route in reverse.

Local traffic for the Rathen Crossroads will be diverted between Cortes Junction and Rathen using the local roads.

The improvements will benefit more than 7,100 vehicles who use this route each day, creating a smoother ride for motorists and reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.

Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
