M90 Friarton Bridge | Overnight Inspections

M90 Friarton Bridge
20th of January 2025, 8:00pm to 15th of February 2025, 6:00am

UPDATE (24/01/25): The planned overnight closure of Friarton Bridge northbound on Sunday 26th January between 8pm and 6am has been cancelled due to the adverse weather forecast.

 

Amey is carrying out overnight inspections on Friarton Bridge at Perth from Monday 20th January to Saturday 15th February.

The routine inspections, which Amey is carrying out on behalf of Transport Scotland, are required to understand the current condition of the bridge.

To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists the inspections will be carried out using consecutive overnight road closures of each carriageway on Friarton Bridge.

Between Monday 20th January and Friday 31st January the northbound carriageway will be closed on weeknights only (Monday to Friday) from 8pm to 6am.

Between Monday 3rd February and Friday 14th February the southbound carriageway will be closed on weeknights only (Monday to Friday) from 8pm to 6am.

The following signed diversions through Perth will be in place during the overnight closures.

Northbound Closure

Northbound traffic will be diverted via M90 Junction 10 to Broxden Roundabout. Traffic can then take the third exit and follow the A93 Glasgow Road to South Street and on to Queen’s Bridge. Traffic can then turn right after Queen’s Bridge and follow the diversion along the A85 Dundee Road to rejoin the A90 travelling northbound at M90 Junction 11.

Southbound Closure

Southbound traffic can exit the M90 at Junction 11 and follow the A85 to Queen’s Bridge where they will cross. After the bridge traffic can turn left and follow the A989 until it reaches York Place, before turning left and following the A93 to Broxden Roundabout where they can rejoin the M90 southbound.

There will also be single lane closures on the A90 Barnhill Interchange underneath Friarton Bridge on Thursday 30th January and Wednesday 5th February as part of the works.

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