Work is continuing on the £745 million Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) scheme.

As part of the project, a 200-metre section of the C89C Chapel of Stoneywood to Fairley Road will be permanently closed from next week.

The closure will allow the major infrastructure scheme to be built through this closed section. When complete, the route will link up with the new bridge spanning the A96 to the west of Craibstone Roundabout.

Overall, the multi-million pound scheme is scheduled for completion this winter.

A project spokesman said: "Since the made orders were published back in 2010, it has been well publicised that a section of the C89C Chapel of Stoneywood to Fairley Road will have to permanently close as part of the AWPR/B-T works.

"The community liaison team has been informing affected local residents and the local business community of the upcoming permanent closure of this section of road. Road signs will also notify road users of this change to the road layout."
