New Bridge To Open On AWPR/B-T Project

A new bridge is to open next month as part of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) project.

The structure on the C25K Bridge of Muchalls to Burnhead Road will be opened permanently from 01 October, following a short-term closure of the C24K Cookney Road.

Before opening, the contractor will complete the road connections between the new bridge on the C25K Bridge of Muchalls to Burnhead Road to the existing C24K Cookney Road. These works will take place from 27 September to 01 October. Diversions will be in place.


A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "The new bridge on the C25K Bridge of Muchalls to Burnhead Road opened temporarily to traffic earlier this month but it is necessary to close the road to enable some finishing works to be completed, including connections to the existing road, before it can open permanently.

"These works will be taking place in close proximity to road users. We would therefore like to remind road users to apply more caution than usual when driving near these works for their own safety and the safety of the workforce. We would also like to encourage road users to observe all road signage and to allow more time than usual for their journey."
