Disruption has continued on a major road in Aberdeenshire after a lorry shed part of its load.
The A92/A90 on-slip southbound at Stonehaven remained closed on Thursday morning after the incident the previous night.
Recovery of what is described as an “unstable load on a HGV” is expected to take place later on Thursday.
The lorry is understood to be carrying metal pipes.
Traffic trying to join the A92/A90 heading south is being diverted to the Dunnottar on-slip.
At around 6pm on Wednesday, emergency services were called to the road where it was closed off overnight.
The closure caused queues to back up into Stonehaven during the Thursday morning rush-hour.
