The Netherley road is the official diversion route for five days while the Slug road is closed for repair work.

The A957 Slug road will be closed at Rickarton from the U153K junction until Westerton of Bogheadley, Durris for five days from Monday 14 March.

This is to enable Aberdeenshire Council to carry out surface dressing preparatory work (fill potholes and suchlike, with surface dressing to take place at a later date).

Emergency and pedestrian access will be maintained and vehicular access to affected properties will be maintained whenever possible.
