Stonehaven bus services will be affected by a road closure which will have a knock-on impact on services through Portlethen and Newtonhill, including the X7.

David Street is to be closed from Monday 21 February to Friday 25 February. That is the street just south of the Cowie Bridge and leads into the town. Resurfacing works are being undertaken on David Street and repairs are undertaken on Belmont Brae as well.

The diversion route from Barclay Street terminus will be a turn right south to follow the road through Dunnottar woods to rejoin the A90 dual carriageway. Services will operate the same diversion in reverse.

Stagecoach services will operate later than scheduled but this is the only option being considered by the bus companies. Notices will be posted at the relevant bus stops and Stagecoach will advise passengers of the enforced changes via their website and social media.
