Motorists are facing five days of diversions as the A90 southbound slip road to Newburgh closes for surfacing works.

The A90 diverge slip road, from the southbound A90 main carriageway at Tipperty to the B9000 east, will close from 8pm on Sunday, April 8, until 8pm on Friday, April 13.

Access to the Tarty Road from the B9000 will also be closed for the works.

A representative for Transport Scotland said: "The temporary closure of the A90 southbound diverge slip road at Tipperty is necessary to enable the contractor to complete surfacing works in this area.

"Road users who would normally use this route should plan their journeys in advance so that they can reach their destination safely and on time.

"We would like to ask road users to drive with more caution than usual and to observe all signage for their own safety, as well as for the safety other road users and the construction workforce."
