Aberdeen Roads Limited will start installing speed cameras along the A90 at Stonehaven from today, 20 February.
The new cameras will stay in place until works are complete and a temporary speed restriction of 50 mph will be in place.

A spokesperson for Transport Scotland said: "The works at Stonehaven will substantially increase over the coming weeks. To enhance the safety of the rising number of road workers on the A90 at Stonehaven, many of whom will be working in close proximity to road users in this area, it is necessary to use additional safety measures on this section of road. The use of average speed cameras will also protect road users, where construction operations adjacent to or beneath the road are not always visible to them.
"In addition to the proven safety benefits of average speed cameras, their deployment in major road works schemes demonstrates their ability to improve traffic flow and journey time reliability."
Once completed, the £745 million AWPR/B-T will help to reduce congestion, cut journey times, improve safety and lower pollution in Aberdeen City Centre.
