A busy stretch of a major north-east road will be closed for five days next week.
The roundabout to the south of Ellon on the A90 Aberdeen to Fraserburgh road will be shut for £160,000 of resurfacing works.
Upgrades will also be carried out to a 328ft stretch of the road to the north of this location.
The overnight surfacing works are scheduled to start on Monday.
The project will take place between 7.30pm and 6.30am, and is scheduled to finish on March 20..
No works are programmed for Saturday or Sunday nights.
To ensure the safety of road workers as well as motorists, an overnight road closure will be in place on the A90 each day.
For northbound traffic, diversions will be in place via the old A90, now the B977, through Foveran.
All motorists travelling southbound will be diverted along this road in the other direction.
The diversion in place overnight will add around 12 miles or 25 minutes onto journeys.
Andy Thompson, Bear Scotland’s north-east representative, said: “This £160,000 project has been designed to improve the general condition and safety of the Ellon South Roundabout for motorists.
“The traffic management is essential to ensure the safety of road workers and motorists during the project. We’ve taken steps to minimise disruption for road users as much as possible during the improvements, including carrying out the works overnight and avoiding working Saturday and Sunday nights.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these works on the A90. 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.”
