Leader of the Council, Cllr Margaret Davidson said: "It is good to see this section of the work underway. The West Link will deliver significant economic benefits to the city and surrounding area, reducing congestion and enabling construction jobs and housing development. It is anticipated that almost £4 in economic benefit will be achieved for every £1 spent on building the road alone."

The West Link forms part of the Council's contribution to the City-Region Deal investment by partners, agreed in March 2016.
