The council (OIC) has revealed alternate vehicle entrance and exit arrangements are to be made at Kirkwall Pier.
The current exit on to Shore Street will become both an entrance and an exit, with the current entrance from Harbour Street being closed off to traffic.

Construction work to install bollards will begin at the end of the month.
David Sawkins, deputy Harbour Master, said: "The changes have come about due to feedback from our wide ranging group of pier users.
"Our main aims are to maintain the efficient operation of the pier, improve the safety of vehicle and pedestrians using the pier and maintain access to the pier for particularly wide loads on the rare occasion that this is requires."
