Overnight closures will be in place on the M90 in Fife for rail bridge repair works.
The M90 northbound carriageways will be closed from the M9 junction 1A Kirkilston to M90 Junction 1A Queensferry from 8pm tonight [Wednesday].

Chris Tracey, BEAR Scotland’s bridges manager for South East Scotland advised motorists to plan ahead.
‘Allow extra time’
He said: “It is essential to close carriageways on the M90 on these nights to allow safe access for our operatives to repair expansion joints on Humbie Rail Bridge.
“We’ve scheduled the works at night to minimise disruption, however motorists planning to travel on the nights of 21 and 22 December should plan ahead and allow some extra time for their journey.
“We’re grateful to road users and local communities for their patience.”
