Construction work is to begin on a road junction improvement scheme in Elgin.

The 12-week project will see traffic lights introduced to the junction of Hay Street, Northfield Terrace and South Street, which is currently a mini-roundabout. Once installed, the junction will change to a crossroads, with 'smart' traffic lights that can be programmed to alter traffic flows at peak times.

The upgrade is the result of consultation with the public on the new Elgin Transport Strategy, which identified the junction as requiring the change.

Works are scheduled to get underway at the end of next month. Diversions will be in place for the duration.
