Link between Forth Road Bridge and Perth, meaning that it is the main road between Edinburgh and the north of Scotland.
The spur to the eastern side of Perth originally held the number M85, and the M90 number was originally used solely for the western spur.
A section of M90 less than 2 miles long, from junction 1 to a temporary tie-in at what is today the B981/B916 junction at Duloch, was the first motorway in Scotland. (The B981 was then the A90).
