Drivers are being advised to plan ahead and use alternative routes if possible.

Drivers are to expect delays and disruptions to their journeys over the next few months, as key turbine components start to be delivered at the Port of Cairnryan.
Police Scotland and project transport teams will run convoys twice a day to keep traffic flowing.
The parts delivered include blade and tower sections, which will be taken to Stranoch Wind Farm, between New Luce and Barrhill, under police escort.
Deliveries are to happen during the week, right up until December.
The construction of this site began in May 2024, with an aim to finish in early 2027.
Once this is up and running, the community benefit is estimated to be around £510,000 each year.
Yusuf Patel, Chief Technical Officer at EDF power solutions UK said: “This is a fantastic milestone in the construction of Stranoch wind farm and we are pleased to be working closely with Vestas and Police Scotland in safely delivering the components to the site over the coming months.
“We would like to thank residents and road users for their patience as we begin this critical stage of construction and we endeavour to keep them updated to minimise disruption as far as possible.”
