I was asked the other day whether the Bracken Road junction with Bruntland Road in Portlethen is going to be resurfaced … it is not in the best of condition (see screen grab below from Google Map last year).

The Roads Service advise me that it is not included in the current contract which has Hunter Construction carrying out patching work in Portlethen, with Newtonhill and Muchalls to follow.

However, officers have decided to put out another contact in the next financial year, to pick up areas that have been missed this year.

In addition to this, they are looking at putting out another contract for the resurfacing of junctions, such as the one at Bracken Road, with hot rolled asphalt the most durable surfacing material.
