Most of the sections in which the M90 was built ended at The M90 was extended southwards, in 2017, across the Firth of Forth via a new cable-stayed bridge as part of the Phase 1 of the Forth Replacement Crossing project involved the upgrading of the M90 motorway between Healbeath Junction (J3) and Admiralty (J1). As part of the Forth Replacement Crossing project this junction was upgraded with new west-facing slip roads, opening on 1st February 2013. The east facing slip roads were also widened to return them to their original 2 lane width. A Seat Leon car, also northbound, then hit the Renault.The front-seat passenger was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee for treatment but he later died.Police Scotland reopened the road at about 06:30 after an investigation was carried out at the scene.Insp Greg Burns said: "We are carrying out inquiries to establish the full circumstances of this collision and would urge anyone who can help "We would be interested in speaking to anyone who may have seen these vehicles on the road before the collision or who may have passed the scene immediately following the incident. Found in Kinross services are the most northerly services in Great Britain, being located just off junction 6 of the M90. As befits a relatively quiet motorway, it is a very small single-site MSA. The crash happened about 1.5 miles north of Junction 4 near Kelty on the M90 When the motorway first opened in 1964, it formed the northern approach to the Forth Road Bridge, which was part of the A90 and not a motorway. The M90 connects Edinburgh, via the Queensferry Crossing, to Perth and the north and north-east of Scotland. The western branch is longer than the east, and travels further north, which means that the northernmost motorway in the UK has no number.With thanks to Michael Clarkson, Jon Davey and Liam Philliban for information on this page.Last year we reported on an experimental "3D" zebra crossing.

It is the main road that links Edinburgh and Glasgow with the north of Scotland.. Junctions The new ITS was activated on 4th December 2012. during incidents or when significant congestion occurs. This is the first use of variable mandatory speed limits in Scotland. This means that the M90 performs a number of contortions between the M9 and the Queensferry Crossing that make a map of the route look like some tortuous mountain pass, which are entirely unnecessary in terms of the surrounding geography and are only there because of the piecemeal development of the road.Further north, as the motorway reaches some genuinely challenging terrain north of Kinross, it begins to twist and turn again.
At one time, rural Scottish motorways with predicted traffic levels below a certain level were built this way, but most have now had hard shoulders retrofitted and this is the only remaining length of rural motorway in the UK with just two lanes and no hard shoulder.Ronnie Land, who worked on the scheme in the 1960s, notes that the three-way motorway interchange south of Perth was a major feat, requiring the removal of some 900,000 cubic metres (31,783,000 cubic feet) of material. These are external links and will open in a new window "Anyone who was on the M90 and using a dashcam is asked to review their footage and let us know if you may have anything which could assist our investigation. As part of this, road users may see the cameras flash but offences are not being generated during this testing phase. Previously the M9 Junction 1A only had east-facing slip roads. The minimum curve radius used on the route is 694m (2,278ft), far below the minimum of 914m (3,000ft) that was standard practice at the time. This did some strange things to the area south of Perth. 50 years to the day later, the M90 Queensferry Crossing officially opened. The existing southbound hard shoulder was adapted for use as a bus lane and overhead gantries were installed.
