A traffic management system is being implemented on the A90 Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie-Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) trunk road from Tuesday, May 9 for essential works.
A contraflow system will be in operation between Goval and Blackdog from Monday, May 15 to enable two phases of works to be undertaken at Goval and the River Don crossing.
Traffic management is being installed from Tuesday, May 9 before work commences.
Both phases are being combined into one operation to minimise any disruption to road users.
Diversions will be in place to access the A947 at Goval and there will be a temporary speed restriction of 50mph while the traffic management system is in place.
The works are due to be completed on Saturday, June 10.
From Monday, May 15 a contraflow will operate on the southbound A90 AWPR carriageway between south of the River Don crossing and Blackdog with one lane running in each direction.
Northbound traffic wishing to access the A947 at Goval will be diverted to Blackdog Junction and back along the southbound A90 AWPR carriageway.
From Monday, June 5 a contraflow will operate on the northbound A90 AWPR carriageway between Goval and south of the River Don crossing with one lane running in each direction.
Southbound traffic wishing to access the A947 at Goval will be diverted to Craibstone Junction
and back along the northbound A90 AWPR carriageway.
An Aberdeen Roads Limited spokesperson said: “These works are required to carry out essential repairs on the A90 AWPR.
"Due to the nature and specifications of the works, they cannot be started or finished within either a normal off- peak or an overnight period.
“As the works require lane closures in two adjoining areas it was agreed to combine them in one programmed operation to minimise any disruption for road usersfor the shortest possible duration.
“With these temporary changes to the road layout in mind, we would ask road users to drive with more caution than usual and to observe all signage and the temporary speed limit for their own safety, as well as for the safety of other road users and the construction workforce.
“Road users who would normally use this route should plan their journeys in advance so they can reach their destination safely and on time. "
