Traffic Scotland, the authoritative source for traffic updates in Scotland, has announced the planned closure as part of ongoing maintenance efforts to ensure the continued safety and efficiency of the A92. Motorists are being urged to plan their journeys in advance by checking traffic and travel apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, for the latest information on traffic congestion and road conditions. These tools can help drivers identify the best route to take and potentially avoid areas of congestion caused by the closure.

The southbound carriageway on Balfarg Road will be closed, with traffic being diverted off at the junction. Motorists can expect delays and are advised to consider alternative routes, such as taking the A823 to the M90 or the A915 to the M90. These routes may offer a more convenient and time-efficient alternative to navigating the closed section of the A92. Drivers are also advised to check for any other roadworks or incidents that may be affecting the network and adjust their route accordingly.

Motorists are being advised to exercise caution and patience when driving through the area, as roadworks can often lead to unexpected delays. Drivers who are not familiar with the area are particularly advised to take extra care and follow all traffic signs and instructions from traffic management personnel. The highway authority will have personnel on site to direct traffic and provide assistance to motorists.

The planned closure is expected to have a moderate impact on traffic flow, with some delays anticipated during peak hours. However, with careful planning and preparation, motorists can minimize their disruption and ensure a safe and efficient journey.
