I have asked roads officers if there are plans for further repairs to be made to the Netherley-Lairhillock-Rothnick-Portlethen road (the C13K).
Work was scheduled, with road closures, when the Forties pipeline leak near Netherley caused havoc. However I am now told that the planned patching repair works went ahead on the C13K by Lightways Contractors despite the emergency closure on the C12K. The only change to the C13K closure was to the diversion route, to avoid conflicts.
So, for the moment there are no further plans for the C13K.
If (and when) a further pothole appears please report it via the council website: https://online.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/apps/roadfaults/ Council officers will then deal with the request through the normal procedures.
With the AWPR apparently scheduled to open in the spring there will be the opportunity for all local roads which have been affected during the AWPR construction to be brought back to their previous standard. I know that discussions are under way between the council and the bypass builders.
Ian,
Whatever was scheduled may well have been done, but the road still has many holes – mainly poor, broken-down verges rather than potholes
Indeed, the verges are in a poor state in places, where vehicles have left the road surface to squeeze past oncoming traffic.
They may have started but they’re a long way from finishing. Still big potholes and verges collapsed. Also the exit onto the A90 is like driving over giant cobbles.
Please keep reporting any defects to the council.
