Drivers will face up to a 28-mile diversion during roadworks on the A92 in Angus.
A stretch of the road at Tarriebank, just north of Arbroath, will be shut between 9am and 3pm each day from March 17 to 21 for resurfacing work.
As a result, an official diversion will be put in place along a 28-mile route for drivers.
The suggested diversion – which uses only A-roads – goes from Tarriebank, along the A92 to Arbroath, then onto the A933 to Friockheim.
It then goes along the A934 and rejoins the A92 about 700 yards west of Ferryden.
The diversion route is 28 miles in total from one side of the road closure to the other, but would add about 18 miles to a journey between Arbroath and Montrose.

An Angus Council letter to residents said: “Business will open as usual, however, vehicular access to properties and business will be extremely limited during working hours of 9am to 3pm.
“Anyone requiring access/egress should speak to operatives and they will assist.”
The local authority says waste collections will remain unaffected by the road closure.
However, bus services in the area are expected to be affected.
