Work is continuing to create the so-called Haudagain bypass, which is a new road linking North Anderson Drive and Auchmill Road.
Although the roadworks were expected to be completed last winter, bad weather has caused the end date to be pushed back to the spring.
The Scottish Government also stated that the pandemic had caused a six month delay to the project.
Transport Scotland has apologised in advance for any inconvenience tonight’s closure causes.
