Scottish Water has apologised after repair work at a busy Dundee junction took longer than expected.
Repairs to the water network were being carried out throughout the week at the Trottick circle, where Claverhouse Road and Old Glamis Road meet.
It caused long delays on Claverhouse Road, with traffic queueing back as far as the A90 Forfar Road at peak times.
The work was due to be completed by Thursday morning, however delays in repairing the excavation of the road meant the work ran into the evening.
The repairs have now been completed, allowing traffic to return to normal.

A spokesperson for Scottish Water said: “We would like to apologise to road users for the disruption caused this week while we carried out essential repairs to the water network near the circle where Claverhouse Road and Old Glamis Road meet.
“Reinstatement of an excavation in the road took longer than originally hoped, but traffic through the circle was able to return to normal by around 6pm on Thursday evening.
“Further work is continuing nearby to complete the repair, but the reinstatement of the excavation in the road has allowed traffic to return to normal.”
