Running eastward 1⁄3 mile (0.5 km), the road meets with Pitkerro Road, then after a further 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km), with the Mid Craigie Road roundabout. After a further 1⁄4 mile (0.4 km), the road ends at the Scott Fyffe Circle (roundabout), where it meets the A92.

History

The A972 number used to include a longer stretch of road bypassing Dundee. In 1994 as part of a wider re-numbering, this section became part of the A90.[2]
