Work is continuing on the Aberdeen Western Peripheral/Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) project.

The contractor is due to begin dismantling scaffolding from a new structure at Blackdog Junction on the A90.

As a result, a contraflow will be in place at this section from 8pm on Friday, 21 July until 6am on Monday, 24 July. A temporary 40mph speed restriction will be in operation while the contraflow is in place.

A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "The removal of the scaffolding from this structure is a sign of progress at this location, but we need to remind road users that works are still underway and road workers will still be working either alongside or on the new bridge. We would therefore like to ask them to continue to drive with extreme caution and to observe all signage.

"We would also like to thank road users and the local community for their on-going support and patience during the construction works."
