Leiths Construction Awarded Aberdeenshire Roadworks Contract

Construction News Image
Leiths Construction has been appointed to undertake road maintenance works on behalf of Aberdeenshire Council.

Works will begin in Peterhead along with other villages in Buchan, before moving onto to complete works in Ellon and rural roads of Formartine and thereafter works in Fraserburgh and rural roads in Banff and Buchan.

This is one of several road surfacing contracts the council will be issuing in the coming months.

The council states: "The surface dressing programme is nearing completion with nearly 70 miles treated within the three areas. We are continuing our planned programme of works and reactive patching of highly defected routes.

"This is having a very positive impact and with the additional contractor resources now in place, the council hopes to complete the backlog of maintenance and repairs within the next four months.

"While we're by no means back to full capacity yet, motorists will have seen a massive increase in our roads operations across Aberdeenshire as a result of relaxed conditions on coronavirus and that will continue in the months to come.

"As all road users know, potholes can appear at any time and often require a relatively speedy response to ensure the road is safe. This can mean that a temporary repair is required in the first instance, with a permanent repair being completed at a later date.

"While we try to minimise the need for this two-stage approach, in certain circumstances it is the right approach. It is likely that defects will occur between inspections and we would encourage members of the public to continue to alert us to the appearance of a defect."
