New safety barriers are to be installed along the Newmachar Church Road in Aberdeen.

The works form part of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) project.

To carry out the project, the road will close at the B977 near Parkhill for around three weeks from 6am on Monday, 24 July. Diversions will be in place.

A spokesperson for Transport Scotland said: "We understand the importance of this road to the local community but it is necessary to close the road so that permanent barriers can be safely installed by the contractor.

"The closure has been timed to take place during the school holidays to minimise any inconvenience experienced by road users.

"We would like to encourage those drivers who would consider using Newmachar Church Road at this location to plan their journeys in advance. They should also consider leaving earlier than they would normally so that they can reach their destination safely and on time.

"We thank road users in advance for their patience during this period."
