TRAVELLING TO THE GAME

Please check with Traffic Scotland and local radio stations for the latest updates on the traffic and roads. Be aware that there are road works around Perth which may slow your journey in that area. Plan to leave early to account for delays.

Please note that from 8pm on Friday 13 April until 6am on Monday 16 April, the B979 at Stonehaven will be closed for surfacing works at the new roundabout.  There will be no access to the A90 either north or southbound from the B979 (Netherly Road) during these times.  There is also no access to Stonehaven from the B979.  Supporters travelling south and intending to use the B979 should follow the diversion along the B9077, South Deeside Road and onto the A90 at Bridge of Dee.   The north slip from the A90 onto the B979 at Stonehaven is also closed this weekend and the northbound diversion via the B9077 should be followed.
