Plans for a new Edinburgh City Bypass flyover near Sheriffhall have been delayed by the Scottish Government.
The £120million scheme is aimed at easing the notoriously bad congestion at the Sheriffhall roundabout.
It was previously reported that the development would ease the traffic burden from new housing developments around the south of the city.
However, according to the Daily Record a review of the proposal will now be carried out. A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "As part of our response to the feedback received during the statutory consultations and our on-going discussions with City Region Deal partners, we will review our proposals."
Adding: "We look forward to continued engagement with City Region Deal partners to inform this review."
The Record also reported that a report revealed that there had been 299 accidents involving injury or death on the route in the last ten years.
Climate protesters had previously been urging transport chiefs to rethink the plans for the new flyover, with campaigners from Extinction Rebellion unfurling a banner which read "more roads, more traffic, more emissions".
The plans were originally unveiled in 2017 as part of the £1bn City Region Deal.
The development would see traffic on the A702 separated so they can continue along the bypass without having to negotiate the four-lane roundabout.
Edinburgh Live reported in December that a video had emerged showing what the flyover would look like.
