Commuters in Aberdeen may face delays for more than a month due to a road closure in the city centre.
Aberdeen City Council has ordered a one-way restriction on Loch Street from St Andrew Street to Spring Garden in the city centre.
Traffic will only be able to travel northbound.
Suggested alternative routes are Spring Garden and Gallowgate.
And the council has also revealed that the disruption will continue into March.
In addition, there will be a ban on “waiting on either side of the same stretch of carriageway for the duration of the works”.
An Aberdeen City Council road closure notice read: “Illegally parked vehicles will be removed at the owner’s expense. The no-waiting restrictions will be demarcated by the use of no-waiting cones.
“The restrictions are in the interests of public safety during ACC fibre ducting works.”
The closure will last until March 11 at 5pm.
