According to the Evening Express tonight the Aberdeen western peripheral route (AWPR) is to open this spring. Until now officialdom has always stated “winter 2017/18”.
I wonder when we will actually be able to use it? You can read more at https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/…/keith-brown-praise-aber…/
Meanwhile three local roads are to close for safety reasons from Monday 15 January.
In the north, owing to AWPR bridge construction and drainage works it will be necessary to close the C5K country road at Greens of Crynoch.
In the south, owing to AWPR drainage and tie-in works it will be necessary to close the U88K at Fishermyre and the U167K at Cantlayhills for nine weeks.
Council officers assure me that emergency and pedestrian access is to be maintained at both sites. Similarly vehicular access to affected properties is to be maintained whenever possible.
