One of Aberdeen’s busiest bottlenecks will shut tonight for rescheduled resurfacing work.
The A96 Aberdeen to Inverness road between Auchmill Terrace and the Haudagain roundabout will be shut overnight for two nights on Thursday and Friday.
The works will be focused on the eastbound carriageway and will mean the road is closed from 7pm until 6am on both nights.
The overnight closures will allow for resurfacing work while a signed diversion is in place.
Following the postponement of works earlier in the week due to adverse weather, the #A96 eastbound carriageway between #Auchmill Terrace and #Haudagain Roundabout will be closed for two nights (7pm to 6am), starting 7 October.

The works were due to take place on October 5 but were delayed due to “adverse weather”.
Works planned for the westbound carriageway, which were originally scheduled to take place tonight, will now take place at a later date.
Traffic Scotland has apologised for the inconvenience and has reminded road users that a contraflow on the A92 North Anderson Drive continues to be in place.
Project to finish in winter
Thanking the public for their co-operation, the body has said project completion is anticipated in winter 2021, “subject to any unforeseen circumstances such as the effects of exceptional weather”.
Initially, the project was set to be completed by spring. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced delays.
