Project Details
Description
The works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a stretch of the A96 carriageway to the east of Oyne, Aberdeenshire. The carriageway is presenting signs of continual deterioration.
Construction activities will entail the resurfacing of the A96 carriageway east of Oyne with the activities as follows:
- Installation of Traffic Management (TM);
- Milling of carriageway to agreed depths;
- Resurfacing of the carriageway to existing road levels using TS2010 surface source, AC20 binder and AC32 bituminous base;
- Reinstatement of road markings, linings and studs; and
- Removal of TM.
The following (but not limited to) plant/machinery/vehicles may be used throughout the scheme:
- Planer;
- Wagon(s);
- Bitumen tank;
- Extrusion liner;
- Paint tanker;
- Paver; and
- Roller(s).
The proposed work is programmed to be completed within the next financial year (April 2025 to March 2026) for a duration of seven to 10 days with the majority of works being undertaken during night-time hours.
TM for the scheme will compromise of lane and road closures on the A96 carriageway. Where road closures are required, a diversion will be in place, which involves local access only to the area of works and all other traffic diverted via the local minor carriageways.
