Construction News Image
Residents are being invited to find out more information on the £24 million A90 Laurencekirk Junction Improvement scheme.

A 'Meet the Team' event is being held by Transport Scotland and design consultant Amey from 12 noon - 7pm in Laurencekirk on 17 February.

The meeting will allow residents to ask any questions on the design and assessment process for the scheme.

‪Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said: "Last year we announced £24 million for the design and construction of a new grade-separated junction at Laurencekirk as part of a package of additional investment alongside the Aberdeen City Region Deal.

"We are committed to completing this important upgrade as soon as possible and having appointed design consultants last September, we have stepped up the work to deliver this much-needed scheme for the people of the north east as soon as possible.

"We have been working hard with the two local authorities and Nestrans and we will continue that partnership approach so we can bring improved road safety and economic benefits to road users and the local community in Laurencekirk and the north Angus area.

"This 'Meet the team' event is an opportunity for local residents and road users to meet the people designing the junction improvement and also to find out more about the essential design and assessment process to be followed during the development of the scheme."

Mr Yousaf added project partners will consult on emerging options for the scheme later this year.
