Work is underway on a new junction as part of the multi-million AWPR/B-T project.

Around 200,000m3 of earth will be removed between the A90 and the Dundee to Aberdeen railway line in order to build the new Stonehaven Junction.

For safety reasons, temporary traffic signals will be installed on the B979 Netherley Road to the north and south of the Dundee to Aberdeen railway line, and on the A90 northbound slip road/B979 Netherly Road junction for around two months.


A spokesperson for Transport Scotland said: "During these works, it will be necessary for the contractor to switch the temporary traffic signals to red for around six minutes on the A90 slip road and B979 Netherley Road. This will take place approximately twice every hour, between 7am and 7pm Monday to Saturday. A 40mph speed restriction will also be in place.

"When the signals turn red, around six heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) will take the materials excavated from the site of the new slip roads and transport them to one of the contractor's processing plants for reuse in embankment construction. A road sweeper will ensure the road is safe to use before traffic is allowed to continue using this route."
