A92 on-slip at Stonehaven reopens after being closed for more than 20 hours due to a shed load

The Stonehaven on-slip to the A90 Aberdeen to Dundee road was closed for more than 21 hours due to a shed load.

Traffic Scotland announced the closure at 6.06pm on Wednesday and it was reopened at 2.30pm on Thursday.

The on-slip from the A92 coastal road heading onto the A90 was blocked by police and drivers were advised to use an alternative route.

Images shared by Traffic Scotland at the time showed a lorry had been pulled over. The vehicle appeared to be carrying long thin objects resembling pipes.

The road remained closed until around 2.30pm on Thursday as teams worked to recover the load and clear the site from any obstructions.

It comes after several days of long delays and heavy traffic in the Aberdeenshire town due to resurfacing works being carried out on the A90.

The works are part of an £800,000 project, which is due to be completed by Sunday, March 5.
