The construction of part of a Tay Road Bridge ramp has been delayed by a month.
The “design issues” were raised in a report by city engineer Fergus Wilson to the Tay Road Bridge Joint Board.
Mr Wilson’s report said: “Demolition of the original southbound on-ramp at Custom House is now complete with all materials being recycled.
“Construction of the eastern side of the new approach ramps and new South Marketgait Bridge is well under way.
“This element of work was programmed for completion by December 2013 thus completing the works to the Tay Road Bridge approach ramps.
“However, a number of design issues have arisen during the construction of the new South Marketgait Bridge which have caused a delay to completion of the works.
“An extension of time has been granted to the contractor and the works are now programmed for completion by the end of January.”
Dundee City Council awarded the £8.2 million contract for the removal and reconstruction of bridge ramps in August 2011.
