Motorists are being warned to expect further disruption in Aberdeen as roadworks begin on Ellon Road today.
Essential resurfacing works are taking place on the northbound lanes between the Gordon Barracks roundabout and the Parkway roundabout.
The stretch of road will be closed each day between 9.30am and 3.30pm for a total of two weeks.
An alternative route is in place via North Donside Road, Scotstown Road and the Parkway.
All of the works are due to be completed by 3.30pm on Friday, June 30.
The busy commuter road will reopen to traffic each evening and throughout the night, with the times chosen to avoid morning and afternoon rush hour.
It will also be open with ramps on Saturday and Sunday.
Aberdeen City Council has said the restrictions are required for public safety.
A spokeswoman said: “We apologise for the section of road being closed however it is for necessary resurfacing works, and is outwith the morning and afternoon rush hours.”
Dealing with roadworks across the city
Overnight closures were in place on the road at the end of March for works which included installation of traffic signals, coating of the road surface and painting of white lines.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of Aberdeen commuters are still getting stuck in queues near the River Dee while work is carried out on the George VI bridge.
The roadworks began at 4am on March 14 and are not expected to finish until the end of the month.
The one-way diversion route over the Bridge of Dee has been creating bottlenecks in the area.
