Major roadworks cause significant delays on A92

Commuters experience delays of up to 40 minutes as roadworks commence.

Drivers on the A92 are currently experiencing substantial delays, with reports indicating waits of up to 40 minutes. The delays are a result of major roadworks that commenced last night, impacting traffic flow in both directions. Temporary speed limits of 50mph have been implemented from Murcar Roundabout, extending 190 meters north to Blackdog, creating a bottleneck for commuters.

Impact on commuters

According to several commuters who traveled the route this morning, the delays are particularly pronounced during peak hours. A large queue of vehicles was observed stretching back southbound to Balmedie around 9 AM, highlighting the extent of the traffic congestion.

Many drivers have expressed frustration over the unexpected delays, which have significantly increased their travel times.

Details of the roadworks

The roadworks are being carried out by WM Donald on behalf of Aberdeen City Council and are expected to last for more than two months.

The southbound works are scheduled to continue until PM on April 25, while the northbound works are set to last until February 22. This extended timeline raises concerns for regular commuters who rely on this route for their daily travel.

Advice for drivers

Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes where possible to avoid the delays. Planning ahead and allowing extra travel time can help mitigate the impact of the roadworks. Authorities recommend checking traffic updates regularly to stay informed about the current conditions on the A92 and surrounding areas. As the construction progresses, drivers should remain patient and vigilant, adhering to the temporary speed limits for their safety and the safety of road workers.
