Several roads in Dundee remain closed on Sunday as Storm Babet chaos continues.
Streets have been left impassable because of flooding, fallen trees and other damage caused by the extreme rainfall and strong winds.
However, a lane of Claverhouse Road – the scene of severe flooding on Friday – and Turnberry Avenue in Ardler have now reopened.
Xplore Dundee bus services, which had been diverted from these routes, have returned to normal.
Police Scotland has urged drivers not to ignore closure signs.
As of 11.30am on Sunday, the following roads remain shut:
- Drumgeith Road (at the pavilion) – road closed due to flooding
- Baxter Park Terrace (at Park Ave) – road closed due to fallen tree
- Graham Place – road closed due to dangerous building
- Dens Road (Isla Street to Mains Rd) – road closed pending Scottish Water attendance
- Logie Avenue (Birchwood Place to Ashbank) – road closed due to fallen tree
- South Drive, Dykes of Grey – road closed due to fallen tree
- Dykes of Grey Road – road closed due to fallen tree
- Benvie Road at Star Inn – road closed due to bridge collapse
- A90 Trunk Road north of Dundee – road closed
- Claverhouse Road (Old Glamis Road to Eriskay Drive) – lane closure due to fallen tree
- Dock Street – lane closure at Holiday Inn due to fallen tree
The flooding led to residents being trapped in their homes, with a rest centre for those affected also being set up at Dundee International Sports Complex (DISC).
But the rest centre was closed by the council on Saturday “as the emergency situation has now stabilised”.
The storm has already claimed the lives of a 57-year-old woman, who was swept into the Water of Lee in Glen Esk on Thursday afternoon, and a 56-year-old van driver, whose van was hit by a tree near Forfar.
The latest updates on the storm impact can be found on the Dundee City Council website.
