Work on controversial plans to cut the number of lanes on Riverside Drive will begin next week.
The two-month long works will see the main road between the Tesco roundabout and Barnetts garage reduced from four lanes to two.
The plans had received criticism from West End Community Council leader Andrew McBride as well as the Dundee Civic Trust and the Dundee Taxi Association but, following a consultation with a number of groups, the plans were approved on June 23.
The changes, backed by transport charity Sustrans, are part of a £4.2 million project to make the waterfront more accessible for pedestrians and cyclists by creating a footbridge over the railway line, linking to Seabraes and Perth Road.
The roadworks, which will also see the road resurfaced and construction of a toucan crossing, are expected to take eight weeks to complete.
For the first five weeks of the works, traffic in both directions will be reduced to two lanes.
From September 14 there will be two weeks of night closures but two lanes of the carriageway will continue to remain open in the day time.
This will be followed by a further week of lane closures, with two-way traffic being maintained.
After the works have been completed, for traffic coming from the west towards the roundabout, there will be a left-turn only lane, giving access to the supermarket and the new flats being built on the adjacent site.
For traffic coming from the east, there will be a right-turn only lane into the supermarket and flats.
The pavement on the north side of the road between the roundabout and the rail bridge will be widened, with landscaping between the path and the road to improve pedestrian safety.
West of the rail bridge, a pedestrian crossing will be created near Barnetts Motors and there are long-term plans for crossings at the Riverside nature park and south of Harris Academy, once the school has been rebuilt, to allow pupils safe access to the Riverside playing fields.
