One lane to close at Haudagain Roundabout as Scottish Water carries out improvement works

Road restrictions will be in place at a major Aberdeen roundabout from tomorrow as engineers carry out work to install new water mains. 

To allow the improvements to be carried out safely, Great Northern Road will be shut westbound from the Haudagain Roundabout between 6am on Saturday, 18 July, and 6am on Monday, 20 July. 

A signposted diversion will in place via the A92, Mugiemoss Road and the A947 at Bucksburn.

The work forms part of a £3.2 million investment by Scottish Water to renew and upgrade water mains in order to meet the needs of growing communities.

The same carriageway closure will also be in place over next weekend, from 6am on Saturday 25th July until 6am on Monday 27th July.

A spokesperson for Scottish Water said: “The work taking place over this weekend and next weekend has been carefully planned in consultation with Aberdeen City Council, Transport Scotland and BEAR Scotland to minimise impact on the road network at busier times.

“The new water mains we are installing will ensure that both existing and future customers in the area receive a reliable supply of clear, fresh and great-tasting drinking water for years to come.

“We appreciate there has been significant construction work taking place in this part of the city and will do all we can to keep disruption for residents and road-users to a minimum while we complete this essential work. We would encourage road users to allow some extra time for their journeys and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
