Communities turn out in their hundreds for AWPR/B-T Exhibitions

Road users and communities across the north-east are being given the opportunity to look at the plans for the scheme, with an invite for more people to come along for the final week of the programme, starting in Aberdeen City Centre on Monday next.

The exhibitions include details on:

• The route
• The far reaching benefits of the project
• Progress of advance works
• Environmental mitigation

A Transport Scotland spokesman said:

“We have been encouraged by the tremendous response to the exhibition which has visited five locations along the route this week and provided communities with a chance to come and see the scheme plans and ask our engineers any questions they may have.

"We would like to beat that turnout, starting at the Music Hall on Union Street on Monday before concluding the tour in Dyce on Friday, and look forward to welcoming the public along to have a look.

“With the construction of the new road coming closer, it’s important people get a chance to remind themselves of the plans and what it will mean for them. Over the last few months we’ve been working hard to identify a preferred bidder to deliver the scheme, as well as take forward advance works before the general construction begins in earnest later in the year.”
