Commuters were brought to a standstill trying to get out of Aberdeen as the first day of roadworks on the A92 Aberdeen to Stonehaven road got underway.
Vehicles were bumper to bumper along Wellington Road this afternoon which was baring the brunt of traffic due to the closure of the A92.
It is one of few direct routes out of the city centre and south towards Cove, Portlethen and Stonehaven.
