Work is progressing on the £745 million Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) project.

For safety reasons, a 50mph speed restriction on sections of the A90 north of Aberdeen is to be extended to cover the area between Murcar roundabout and Ellon Roundabout at Tipperty.

The extension will come into effect from Monday, 01 August.

An AWPR/B-T spokesperson said: "Sections of the A90 between the Murcar and Ellon roundabouts are already subject to a 50mph speed restriction but this is now being extended. The change to the speed limit is necessary to ensure workers can construct the new road safely while road users continue to use the A90."
