Drivers are preparing for more disruption in the months ahead as the next phase of roadworks takes place on the Tay Road Bridge.
The crossing between Dundee and Fife is undergoing resurfacing work from Monday (March 4).
It is the second phase of work after a similar project on the opposite carriageway last year.
Here is everything you need to know about the latest roadworks.
Why are there more roadworks on the Tay Road Bridge?
The resurfacing work on the Tay Road Bridge was always planned to run over two phases.
The first phase on the Dundee-bound side was completed in December 2023, with the second getting under way on March 4 2024.
How long are Tay Road Bridge roadworks running for?
An exact end date for the second phase of the Tay Road Bridge roadworks has not been confirmed.
However, Dundee City Council says it hopes the project will be completed within six months.
That would mean restrictions being in place until September 2024.
What restrictions will be in place?
Traffic will be down to single file in either direction.
Drivers heading from Dundee to Fife will be diverted onto the northbound carriageway to cross the bridge under a contraflow.
Wide and abnormal loads will not be able to use the bridge.
Why are the Tay Road Bridge roadworks happening?
The bridge has not been fully resurfaced in the nearly 60 years since it was built, so the restrictions are to allow for that to happen.
In addition, 92 new expansion and movement joints will be installed to make journeys smoother.
Waterproofing is also being applied as well as a new asphalt surface.
Councillor Gary Holt, chair of the Tay Road Bridge Joint Board, says he has already received “positive feedback” about the new surface on the northbound side.
