Aberdeen motorists have been warned to expect further traffic chaos in the city.

More roadworks are scheduled to begin on Sunday evening at Scotstown roundabout in Bridge of Don which will be closed overnight until they are completed.

The works at the roundabout will take place between 6pm and 6am for nine nights in a row.

This is taking place at the same time as resurfacing works on the A92 at the opposite end of the city – which has already had an impact on traffic.

Roadworks across Aberdeen

Aberdeen motorists are currently having to navigate a number of roadworks and road closures across the city.

The closure of the busy trunk road comes at the same time as ongoing roadworks on Garthdee Road.

Temporary traffic lights are in place while transport systems are refurbished in the area.

There are lane closures between Garthdee roundabout and the entrance to Boots and Curry’s.

The lane closures started with the second lane on either side of the carriageway and as the works commence, this will be changed to the first lane on either side of the road.

These 24-hour works are expected to end at 4pm on Friday, April 26.
