Traffic was at a “standstill” between Broughty Ferry and Monifieth.
Drivers faced delays eastbound on the A930 Ferry Road on Friday afternoon.
It is thought the timing of traffic lights was a cause of the hold-ups.
At around 2pm, drivers reported queues from Orchar Park to Grange Road.
Queues towards Monifieth are ‘a bit of a nightmare’
One witness told The Courier: “Traffic is queued all the way between Broughty Ferry and Monifieth, heading east.
“You join the queue just after Orchar Park and it’s nose to tail all the way to the Grange Road traffic lights entering Monifieth.
“You’re only moving a couple of car lengths at a time.
“There’s nothing obvious holding the traffic up but the lights aren’t letting many cars through at a time.
“It might be a combination of Christmas traffic and folk avoiding Balgillo but it’s a bit of a nightmare and you’re in for a long wait if you’re in the queue.”
Roadworks cause disruption in Broughty Ferry
It was suspected some drivers were unaware that Balgillo Road reopened on Friday after being closed for renewal work.
- The Courier has produced a full guide for all the closures and diversions during the Broughty Ferry roadworks, which resume in the new year.
