Drivers are facing months of disruption during major roadworks on the main road through Broughty Ferry.
Work will be taking place in the Queen Street and Monifieth Road areas from September 23 as part of a project by SGN to upgrade the gas network.
Drivers are being warned some road closures and temporary traffic lights will be in place at times.
SGN expects the first two phases of work to be completed within eight weeks, but has not confirmed a timescale for the remainder of the project.

A statement from SGN said: “As part of our ongoing project to upgrade the gas network in Broughty Ferry, we’re beginning work on our final phases in the Queen Street area.
“Phase nine of our project will begin on Monday September 23 and we’ll be working in West Queen Street.
