Construction News Image
Progress is continuing on the £18 million Third Don Crossing, Aberdeen City Council has announced.

The project, being delivered by Balfour Beatty, involves building a new single carriageway link road between the Parkway/ Whitestripes Road junction and the Tillydrone Avenue/St Machar Drive junctions.

In addition, a new bridge is being built.

Work began in August 2014 and works to install the retaining walls, including a large retaining wall in Tillydrone, are now well advanced.

Concrete has also been poured to the Don Bridge deck and copes, while the Mill Lade Bridge is also nearly finished.

Road construction works are also progressing well, with Gordons Mills Road to Meadow Place substantially complete.

Works on the east side of Gordons Mills Road/Tillydrone Road from Meadow Place to Coningham Terrace is continuing, while Tillydrone Road/Avenue from Coningham Terrace to St. Machar Drive is substantially complete.

Work is also progressing at St Machar Drive roundabout where the junctions are to be widened and the roundabout replaced by traffic signals.

In addition, construction of the new road from Grandholm Village to Laurel Drive is well underway, while a pedestrian/cycle underpass is being built with Grandholm Drive realigned to meet the new road.

Councillor Ross Thomson said: "There is good progress happening on the sites at both sides of the River Don which is fantastic news as the crossing will transform city connectivity for people living and working on both sides of the river.

"The high quality of the work and the appearance of fixtures such as the retaining wall in Tillydrone are to be commended too, as it's important we take the community's views into consideration."
