A street in Broughty Ferry has reopened after being taped off due to concerns over a cement-like substance on the road.
Police and the fire service taped off a stretch of Strathern Road just after 1pm on Tuesday.
There were concerns about the grey/white substance that had been left splattered across the road and pavement, close to a roadworks area.
However, the cordon was lifted just before 2.30pm with the substance still in place.
It is understood Dundee City Council has been informed.
