course

The A991 picks up traffic entering Dundee from the south over the Firth of Tay Bridge ( A92 ). In an easterly direction it runs along with the A92 for around 200 m until it continues eastwards following the coast of Angus and Aberdeenshire . The A991 bends north at this point and takes on the A929 coming from the north from the A90 (outer ring) . The A923 ( Dunkeld- Dundee) joins a roundabout , which leads from the A90 through the northwestern parts of the city to the center of Dundee. In the southwest, the A991 connects the urban train station to the road network and forms the end point of the A85 coming from Oban , before it reaches the junction with the A90 again.
