Transport minister Michael Matheson has announced that another section of the AWPR will fully open later this week.
All traffic management will be removed from the new 7.5 mile stretch of dual carriageway between Balmedie and Tipperty before Wednesday’s rush hour.
The section makes up around one-fifth of the entire AWPR project.
The Scottish Government said the upgraded road will improve safety and journey time reliability on the A90, and provide safer access between the A90 and the local road network.
Mr Matheson said: “This comes soon after the opening of the 4.3 mile section of the AWPR between Parkhill and Blackdog, giving road users a dual carriageway from Parkhill all the way to South Ellon roundabout for the first time.
“We said we would open new sections of road as soon as they were ready for traffic and we are delivering on that commitment.
“Every day tens of thousands of drivers will now begin to reap the benefits of this section of new road, which was originally a separate project to the AWPR, through enhanced safety, reduced congestion, improved journey time reliability, and safer access to local areas and the wider public network.”
Aberdeen City Council Co-Leader Jenny Laing said:
“The council is proud to have invested £75 million in the project and we believe it will bring huge benefits to Aberdeen by enable faster journey times for commuters and help us to unlock the economic potential of the wider north-east region.”
Aberdeenshire Council leader Jim Gifford added: ”
“It is now even easier to visualise how the development will improve access and journey times across the north-east.”
