Delays on A90 entering Dundee at Swallow Roundabout after traffic lights activated

Drivers faced delays on the A90 at the Swallow Roundabout entering Dundee on Thursday – hours after new traffic lights were switched on.

Traffic was queued back towards Longforgan on approach to the roundabout during the morning rush hour.

Amey warned drivers of delays of up to 15 minutes and said it was down to “roadworks” in the area.

However, drivers say there is no sign of any work taking place.

It came less than 24 hours after the traffic lights on the roundabout were switched on.

One driver said: “There was nothing obvious causing the hold-up.

“There was no sign of a crash or lanes being closed.

“It could just be the impact of the new lights.”

When contacted by The Courier, a spokesperson for Springfield – which is leading the project to redevelop the Swallow Roundabout – said it was not a matter for the firm to comment on.

Amey has been contacted for comment.
