The northbound off-slip at M90 Junction 3 will be closed during these works. A diversion route for traffic that would normally leave the motorway at M90 Junction 3 will be signposted via M90 Junction 2, the A823(M), the A823 and the A907.

An official news release states that the works have been planned for the weekend to minimise disruption, but warns that some traffic delays are expected.

Motorists planning to use this route are advised to allow extra time for their journey when the works come into effect.
