Roadworks are to be carried out on a new Stonehaven southbound slip road on the A90 near Aberdeen.

The route, which carries traffic onto the A90 from the B979 Netherley Road, will be shut for around two weeks to enable works on verges and street lighting to be carried out.

The work is being carried out as part of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) project.


The slip road will close overnight for around two weeks from Saturday, 19 May. It is anticipated the route will shut from around 8pm each night and re-open by 6am the following morning. Diversions will be in place.

A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "The new slip road onto the A90 at Stonehaven is one of the sections built as part of the project which was opened in advance of the new trunk road and has significantly reduced the level of traffic going through the town, particularly at busy times.

"The contractor has therefore arranged these closures to take place overnight to ensure traffic diverted through Stonehaven is kept to a minimum."
