Drivers are facing delays at a busy Dundee roundabout due to emergency roadworks.
The inside lane of the Scott Fyffe Roundabout is closed due to a “dangerous” manhole.
As a result, traffic is queued along Arbroath Road, the Kingsway and Douglas Road.
One driver said it took 15 minutes to get from Claypotts to Scott Fyffe at around 8.30am.
‘Confusion’ over Scott Fyffe Roundabout roadworks
Another passer-by said: “There are cones out on the roundabout but no work seems to be taking place yet.
“The Kingsway is down to one lane and it’s very slow going from the roundabout at Asda.
“People are confused about what lane they should be in and are merging too early.
“Arbroath Road, Douglas Road and the southbound Kingsway are the worst affected.
“Some people are going to be late for work today.”
According to the Scottish Roadworks Commissioner’s website, work is being carried out by Scottish Water to “replace a damaged, dangerous manhole” which is “directly on the wheel line of traffic”.
Bus services are also being affected.
Posting on X, Stagecoach East Scotland said: “Due to lane closures on the Scott Fyffe roundabout, services 39, 39A & X7 may experience delays.”
Repairs being carried out on manhole
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: “We are currently carrying out emergency repairs to replace a defective manhole cover at Scott Fyffe Roundabout to ensure the safety of road users.
“We expect to have the repair completed and all traffic management removed by 6am tomorrow (Friday).”
