Motorists on the A90 Southbound lane near Perth have been experiencing delays on Friday morning due to weekend roadworks.
Heavy traffic on the A90 is due to resurfacing work on the Friarton Bridge at Barnhill which will continue over the weekend.
Traffic Scotland advises drivers that delays of 30 minutes are to be expected on the southbound lane on the bridge. The northbound lane is running as usual.
A contraflow system is in place on the A90 while the roadworks take place.
The works are expected to be completed by Monday morning at 6:30am.
The A90 northbound off-slip and on-slip roads at Junction 11 will be closed over the weekend. Diversions are in place.
Roadwork diversions
Affected drivers on the A90 will be redirected via Junction nine (Bridge of Earn) back onto the northbound M90 to Junction 11 off-slip.
An alternative diversion on the A90 allows drivers to travel via the Kinfauns Interchange and back on the A90.
Drivers who are unable to access the motorway will be diverted between Perth and Dundee via Coupar Angus on the A94 and A923.
The road is undergoing £265,000 improvements to carriageway surfacing and lining improvements.

BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative, Ian Stewart, said: “This £265,000 investment from Transport Scotland will allow us to carry out surfacing improvements on this section of the A90 at the Barnhill Interchange.
“This is to ensure our network continues to operate at the highest standard.
“The traffic management is essential to ensure the safety of road workers and motorists during this project.”
