As BT requires access to renew cable and restore customer service it will be necessary in the interests of public safety to close a country road west of Portlethen for three days.

The closure will take place from Tuesday 8 March between 9:30am and 3:30pm daily on the U144K from its C5K junction to Swellhead farm.

Site notices will be erected in due course indicating the temporary restriction to traffic and the diversion route via C5K – C30K – School Brae – Cookston road – A92 – U144K and vice versa.

The Roads Service says pedestrian access is to be maintain, as should vehicular access to affected properties whenever possible.
