First bypass section to open

UPDATE 27 June: The road opened as planned.

Transport Scotland says a section of the Aberdeen bypass will open this week.

“Phase 2a for the AWPR/B-T project (Parkhill / Goval to Blackdog) will open to traffic on Wednesday 27 June.

“Traffic management will be removed on this 7km section at 00:01 on Wednesday morning allowing traffic to use the road during the Wednesday morning peak period. Temporary signage will be erected on the A90 to notify drivers that the road will be opened for use.

“Opening this section of road will start to deliver a range of benefits including improved safety, local access and journey time reliability. Blackdog Junction opened to traffic in May 2018 and is already improving access to Belhelvie, Potterton, Blackdog and Blackdog Industrial Estate. The link with Parkhill Junction will further improve access to local areas and the trunk road network to the north of the city.”

More sections will open in due course with the last part being the new Don bridge.

    Pity about alterations to local life, taking away the bus stops making people walk along A 90 , still with busy traffic to catch a bus as it n o longer goes into houses area or street anywhere. (so I am told)
