DRIVERS in Dundee are facing disruption as major roadworks are underway on a main road in Broughty Ferry.
Work began on West Queen Street and Monifieth Road on Monday as part of an ongoing project by SGN to upgrade the gas network which is causing delays for motorists.
Dundee City Council confirmed there would be road closures with temporary traffic lights in place.
Some motorists have vented their frustration over the road closures online as multiple people said queues caused by the roadworks are estimated to be around a mile long.
SGN said it expects the first two phases of work to be completed in eight weeks but has yet to confirm a timescale for the full project.
According to the local authority's roads report, restrictions could apply for up to 20 weeks.
Closures will apply to the following roads:
- West Queen Street (Victoria Road to Claypotts Road)
- West Queen Street/Claypotts Road/Queen Street junction Queen Street (Claypotts Road to Fort Street)
- Queen Street (Fort Street to St Vincent Street)
- Monifieth Road (St Vincent Street to Abertay Street)
A statement from SGN said: “As part of our ongoing project to upgrade the gas network in Broughty Ferry, we’re beginning work on our final phases in the Queen Street area.
“Phase nine of our project will begin on Monday September 23 and we’ll be working in West Queen Street.
“Some road closures and temporary traffic lights will be in place at times to ensure everyone’s safety and allow our engineers to access our gas pipes.
“We understand this is a busy area and will do everything we can to keep disruption to a minimum for motorists, businesses and the local community.”
