Contraflows will be in place during each weekend, with work taking place from 8pm each Friday until 6am the following Monday.

A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "The contractor will be implementing contraflows over a number of weekends on the A90 at Blackdog to enable them to undertake these essential works at the new junction.

"With these changes to the road layout in mind, we would like to ask road users to drive with more caution than usual and to observe all signage for their own safety, as well as for the safety of other road users and the construction workforce.

"These works have been planned to take place at a time when traffic will be quieter to help minimise the impact they may have on road users. However, road users who would normally use this route should plan their journeys in advance so that they can reach their destination safely and on time."
