The £150,000 investment will improve the waste water network and tackle flooding in the area. The work has reduced the risk of flooding at nine properties on Queen Margaret Drive as well as on the road carriageway.
Work commenced on the project in January, with Kier being the appointed contractor for the scheme.
The work involved installing a connection between two existing waste water mains, while some reinstatement work on the road and footpath in Clouston Street, close to Queen Margaret Drive, is to be carried out next month.

Mark Maclaren, Scottish Water's regional communities team manager, said: "We are delighted to have completed this important project. We are sure that local residents, particularly those who have suffered flooding in the past, will welcome the news.
"This type of work could not be carried out without some disruption to road-users, local residents and businesses but we can assure them that we did everything possible to minimise any inconvenience."
Antje Karl, secretary of the Queen Margaret Drive Traders' Association, added: "We are pleased that Scottish Water's Queen Margaret Drive project has been completed and that the street has reopened on time. We would like to thank our customers and the local community for their support and custom during the work and we look forward to that continuing."
