Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the surfacing improvements to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.

Commenting on the improvements, Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland's North East Representative, said: "This £75,000 investment from Transport Scotland will greatly improve and strengthen this section of the A92 at Portlethen, as well as create a smoother and safer journey for motorists.

"Due to the nature of the works the traffic management will need to stay in place throughout the project and regrettably there will be some disruption to traffic although a signed diversion will be in place.

"We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential improvements on the A92. We encourage road users to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date traffic information and allow some extra time to reach their destination."
