Damage was caused on Monday afternoon

A major road in Aberdeenshire will remain shut for a second night after an accident left the carriageway damaged.

Motorists faced long delays on Tuesday morning due to the closure of the A92 near the Bridge of Muchalls.

A significant fuel spillage affected both the northbound and southbound carriageways on Monday afternoon.

Road maintenance firm Amey said it had not been possible to reopen the road. It is hoped resurfacing may allow one lane in each direction on Wednesday.

Further works will then be undertaken on Wednesday night to resurface the second lane of the northbound and southbound carriageways.

This could allow the road to be fully reopened on Thursday morning.

Diversions are in place but delays are expected.
