A bridge has partially collapsed, forcing a road to be closed.

The incident happened on the B979 between Newmachar and Hatton of Fintray in Aberdeenshire on Friday.

Diversions have been put in place.

Aberdeenshire Council has apologised for the disruption.

A spokesman said: "We would recommend taking the B993 to Whiterashes, then joining the B993 towards Inverurie, then taking the A96 to Kintore before rejoining the B979 towards Hatton of Fintray.

"Sorry for any delay to your journey."
