Bridge beams as part of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie-Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) project are due to be delivered to the Kepplestone Overbridge site this weekend.

Eight 25-metre long beams will begin arriving one at a time on Sunday, 17 April.

A spokesperson for the AWPR/B-T project said: "The contractor has been working closely with Police Scotland and the local authorities to minimise any inconvenience that may be caused due to beam deliveries. The deliveries have to take place during the day for safety reasons but the trucks only enter the city when roads are quieter, between peak travelling periods.

"Beam deliveries are integral to the project, which will have 75 principal structures, including two river crossings and one railway bridge, and over 70 culverts, and therefore a significant number of these deliveries are expected over the next year or so."
