Dates have been set for roadworks in Kinross that will send some drivers on a 16-mile diversion.
Motorists could have up to half an hour added onto their journeys due to works on the A977 at Turfhills next week.
The road between the M90 Interchange and Turfhills Farm Cottage will be closed in both directions for five nights from Monday February 27.
Perth and Kinross Council says the road will be shut from 8pm to 6am each evening, with on-street loading and parking suspended.

Perth and Kinross Council took to twitter to announce the roadworks and warn of potential delays.
They said: “To carry out the works safely and minimise disruption, a night-time road closure will be in place 8pm to 6am, with on-street loading and parking suspended.
“Vehicle access to properties within the works area will be allowed when the resurfacing works permit and it’s safe to do so.

“Some delays should however be expected. Where possible, please park outside the works area as immediate entry/exit from properties can’t be guaranteed.
“On waste collection days, please present bins as normal. Pedestrian and emergency service vehicle access will always be in place.”
