Roads contractor Leith’s Scotland Ltd had been scheduled to carry out repairs on two roads in the Banchory Devenick area (the C34K and the U60K) on the week commencing Monday 18 November. However the work has been postponed to a later date.

Aberdeenshire Council had asked the firm to start one job (likely to be the C34K) then once it is complete they can move on to the next job (U60K). It would not be possible to have both roads closed at the same time as the diversion routes would conflict.

At some point in the future the C34K from Banchory Devenick Crossroads to Banchory-Devenick School will close while patching takes place between 9:15am to 3pm daily.

And the U60K will subsequently close from the C34K at Tollohill Lodge to Gregellen House, also for patching works.

All the work should be completed during one week.

From Monday 25 November the Cookney Road west of the Newtonhill flyover (officially called the C24K) is to be closed for a week from Windyedge to Wester Cairnhill). Leiths Scotland Ltd will be carrying out much-needed road patching works for Aberdeenshire Council’s roads service. Diversions will be in place. 

Meanwhile the U93K from the B979 Netherley Road to Borrowfield will also be closed for patching by Leiths Scotland. However as this is a dead-end, vehicular access to affected properties to be maintained whenever possible during this week.
