Traffic management including occasional lane closures, reduced speed restrictions and the installation of traffic signals will take place.

A spokesperson for Transport Scotland said: "These advance works allow seasonal activities to be undertaken before the main construction contract is awarded which can help reduce the risk of delays to the construction programme, assisting the main contractor when appointed.

"We will work closely with the contractor to minimise any disruption to traffic and would like to thank road users in advance for their patience."
