A90 Closure: Montrose

The A90 northbound deceleration lane will be closed between Mondynes and Drumlithie near Montrose from 18:30 on 6th August 2026 until 05:30 on 7th August 2026. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes and check traffic apps for live updates to minimise disruption. Traffic Scotland is overseeing the maintenance works, which have been deemed a medium-severity disruption.

The A90 is a major route connecting Aberdeen to the M90 and the rest of Scotland, making this closure particularly impactful for commuters and hauliers. Drivers are urged to plan their journeys in advance and consider using the A92 or A937 as alternative routes. These roads may experience increased traffic congestion, so patience and caution are essential.

The closure affects northbound traffic only, with the deceleration lane being shut for maintenance works. However, this may still cause delays and congestion on the A90, particularly during peak hours. Motorists are advised to check traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, for the latest updates on traffic conditions and to plan their journeys accordingly.

Road closure updates are typically provided by Traffic Scotland, which aims to inform motorists of any disruptions on Scotland's roads. This information can be found on the Traffic Scotland website or through social media channels. Motorists can also use the Traffic Scotland mobile app to stay up-to-date with the latest traffic information.

The A90 Mondynes to Drumlithie closure is expected to cause significant disruption, particularly for those travelling northbound. Motorists are advised to leave extra time for their journeys and to consider using alternative routes to avoid the closure. Those who must travel through the area are urged to exercise caution and to follow all traffic signs and directions from traffic marshals.
