The works were to repair gantry signs across the busy West Edinburgh road that brings traffic in and out of the capital and should be rescheduled soon.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s Network Manager for South East Scotland, said: “It is essential to close the northbound M90 overnight to allow safe access for our operatives to repair sign panels on overhead gantries."
