Roadworks on the A95 by Cromdale from today
A section of the A95 south of Dalvey is to benefit from surfacing improvements worth £165,000 with work now under way.
The improvements will address defects in the road surface on the A95 between Cromdale and Tormore.
The project had originally been programmed to take place last month but was postponed due to operational issues.
It has now been scheduled to start today and will take place over five days between 9am and 6pm each day, with all work expected to be completed by this Friday (September 17) subject to the weather.
A 10mph convoy system is in place during working hours to ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists.
The convoy system will be removed out with working hours, however, due to the nature of the works one lane of the A95 will remain closed and temporary traffic lights will remain in place for safety.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative, said: “We’re pleased to see this surfacing improvement project on the A95 get under way after being postponed last month.
“The traffic management programmed is essential for ensuring everyone remains safe throughout the project, however our teams will do everything possible to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential improvements on the A95.
"We encourage road users to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date traffic information and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
