52-503: A flyover after a number of deaths. This followed years of local campaigning. However, in 2021 it was announced that work had been delayed. The proposed flyover would require the closure of a flat crossing at Oatyhill which is now the sole access point to some properties after a nearby bridge crossing the Dundee–Aberdeen line was closed to road traffic in 2020. Dualling of the section north of Aberdeen has been subject to studies since
78-618: A new traffic study which concluded that the A92 should follow the more northern route to provide a better link for Cowdenbeath and Lochgelly before connecting directly onto the Thornton Bypass, which was completed by early 1983. The new section between Crossgates and Glenrothes began construction in 1980, and was built in four phases: In early April 1998 the A92 was extended beyond the Crossgates junction to provide direct access with
104-673: A total of 30 cameras. BBC News reported in January 2018 that speed limit compliance had increased from 2 in 5 to 99 in 100 drivers. A short stretch of the A90, from the southern terminus of the M90 to Barnton Junction (a junction with the A902 ), is part of Euroroute E15 , which runs from Inverness to Algeciras in Spain .

The section through Fife
182-633: Is a major north-to-south road in eastern Scotland , running from Edinburgh to Fraserburgh , through Dundee and Aberdeen . Along with the A9 and the A82 it is one of the three major north–south trunk roads connecting the Central Belt to northern destinations.

234-737: Is often described as the East Fife Regional Road. Across the Tay Road Bridge, the A92 continues along the east coast past Monifieth , Carnoustie , Muirdrum , Arbroath , Montrose , Inverbervie and the Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve before reaching Stonehaven where the road once again becomes dual carriageway. From here, the A92 runs parallel with the A90 for around 2 miles. The road then continues past Stonehaven and Portlethen heading into and through
260-437: Is one of Aberdeenshire's principal freight routes. The Dundee to Aberdeen stretch of the A90 has many speed cameras. Previously, the 60-mile (97 km) trip from Dundee to Aberdeen along the A90 entailed over a dozen speed cameras including a majority of fixed Gatso types as well as locations used by mobile camera vans. These cameras were found on long fast stretches of road, and shortly before dangerous junctions, such as at
286-576: The A92 and continues via Newtonhill , Portlethen , Cove Bay , the urban area of Aberdeen and the Bridge of Don before rejoining the A90 at Blackdog Junction, where the A'PRT terminates.

#1732772297740312-778: The Bridge of Dee , and then again returning to single carriageway between the Haudagain and Parkway roundabouts in Aberdeen. The remainder of the road from the Parkway roundabout to the termination point at Blackdog is dual carriageway. In 2024, work began to reduce the A92 within Arbroath to single-carraigeway as part a remodelling that will see a dedicated cycle path and additional green space added. The A92 road traverses lands on which prehistorical archaeological sites are present. Examples of these features include Gourdon Hill and
338-547: The Cowie Water just north of Stonehaven , a new junction, opened in 2019, reroutes the A90 road north as part of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR), bypassing the city to its west past the suburban developments of Peterculter , Milltimber , Westhill and Kingswells , turning east past Aberdeen Airport and Dyce . The section of road previously part of the A90 was made part of
364-530: The Edinburgh City Bypass . The A90 ran along the coast and through Aberdeen until the city was bypassed with the opening of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route in 2018. The former stretch of A90 from Stonehaven through to just north of Aberdeen is now part of the A92 . Ground investigations were carried out in 2019 in preparation for upgrading the flat junction between the A90 and the A937 to
390-504: The Laurencekirk junction where a 50 mph (80 km/h) speed limit is in force. This was introduced due to this junction's appalling safety record. A similar speed restriction was imposed at Forfar until two new grade-separated junctions were built, after which the restriction was lifted. In 2017 Average Speed Cameras were erected between Dundee and Stonehaven, with 15 per side, spaced approximately every 5 miles (8 km) for
416-752: The 1960s for a new East Fife regional dual carriageway road starting at the M90 at Masterton (Junction 2), which would have mirrored what is now the A921 and B9157 to the Mossgreen area, before heading north-eastward to Chapel Level, connecting up with the Thornton By-pass. The plans were held back until the early 1970s, and were held back further due to the Oil crisis . During the 1970s the Scottish Development Department commissioned
442-621: The 1980s. A proposal was published in 2007 for dualling the section between Balmedie and Tipperty. While the Balmedie to Tipperty segment was eventually dualled as part of wider AWPR works, in 2023 the Scottish Government said it had no plans to dual the route north of Ellon. A90 bridges span numerous rivers , estuaries and burns including: 57°26′03″N 1°51′38″W / 57.43406°N 1.86059°W / 57.43406; -1.86059 A92 road The A92
468-416: The A90 (M90) Edinburgh to Aberdeen trunk road. The coastal route from Dundee to Stonehaven was detrunked in 1978, at the same time as the inland route was trunked. In 1994, it was stated that £139 million had been spent since 1979 on upgrades to the then-A90 between Perth and Aberdeen (the section between Stonehaven and Aberdeen has since become part of the A92 ). A grade-separated junction at Longforgan
494-496: The M90 southbound, to ease congestion around the Halbeath interchange. The new section was built three months ahead of schedule, costing £8.4m. The A92 formerly continued north from Stonehaven through Aberdeen, and terminated at Fraserburgh. The section between Stonehaven and Aberdeen was renumbered A90 in 1994. Upon completion of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) in 2018, the section between Stonehaven and Blackdog
520-610: The M9: however, it is only possible to travel northbound when reaching this connection. After connecting with the M90, it runs as a short section of A-road before turning into the M90 properly at the Queensferry Crossing .

The 16-mile section of the road from Dundee to Arbroath was upgraded to dual carriageway standard in 2005 and significantly reduced the journey time between the two towns. Between Arbroath and Stonehaven the road is a single carriageway apart from a very short section of dual carriageway near Gourdon. The road returns to dual carriageway from Stonehaven heading north to Aberdeen, briefly returning to single carriageway at

#1732772297740572-529: The development of the economy of the North-East of Scotland which had resulted in an increase in traffic along the route between Perth and Aberdeen. In recognition of this, in 1979, the British government announced that it was giving priority to the upgrading of the route to dual carriageway standard. It had already been decided that the trunk route between Dundee and Stonehaven which, previously, had followed
598-554: The same route as the railway line between the two towns, would now follow an inland route through Forfar and Laurencekirk. The new route would incorporate the A85 from Perth to Dundee, the A929 between Dundee and Forfar, the A94 between Forfar and Stonehaven, and the A92 from Stonehaven to Aberdeen; in 1994, the confusion of numbers was resolved with the renumbering of these roads and the creation of

On 3 September 2018, the former section of the A90 between Stonehaven and Blackdog was renumbered A92 in preparation for the opening of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route , which became the new route of the A90. From Edinburgh, the A90 travels west and connects to the M90 motorway bypass route that leads to
