The eight-phase programme will be carried out by CHAP Construction and aims to improve the streetscape, turning it into an area capable of staging events throughout the year.
The work phases are as follows;
• Phase One - changing the road on Broad Street to a shared-use space, between Queen Street junction and Upperkirkgate/Gallowgate junction

• Phase Two and Three - installation of a shared surface roundel and road re-surfacing at Upperkirkgate/Gallowgate junction
• Phase Four - changing the pavement on Broad Street outside Marischal College to a shared use space, between the Queen Street junction and Upperkirkgate/Gallowgate junction including installation of a water feature, trees and raised grass area
• Phase Five - improvements to the streetscape on Queen Street including installation of disabled parking spaces
• Phase Six and Seven - pavement improvement works to existing pavements between Queen Street and Union Street junctions
• Phase Eight - installation of a Toucan Crossing on the Union Street/Broad Street junction
The scheme is part of the City Centre Masterplan and will take several months to complete.
The City Council said it is working with CHAP to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.
