Strict physical distancing protocols, in line with Scottish Government Covid-19 guidance, will be in place to ensure all site personnel remain safe once the project gets underway.

Commenting on the improvements, Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland's North East Unit Representative, said: "Safety is a top priority for both BEAR Scotland and Transport Scotland and the delivery of this scheme on the A90 is part of our commitment to ensuring the network remains safe.

"The traffic management is essential to keep the workforce and road users safe during this project as our teams will be working in the central reservation, however we will do all we can to complete the project as quickly and as safely as possible.

"We would like to thank motorists in advance for their patience during this project and advise them to plan ahead by checking Traffic Scotland for up to date journey information and leave some extra time to reach their destination."
