A £530,000 bridge reconstruction project is to begin in Aberdeen.

The Rob Roy Bridge will be closed due to resurfacing and repair works from 6am on Saturday, 04 February until 6pm on Sunday, 05 February.

Works involve the demolition of the reinforced concrete section of the bridge, which will be rebuilt to modern standards. The scheme is scheduled to be finished by mid-February.

In addition, Kennerty Road is being resurfaced at the same time resurfacing is taking place on the bridge. As a result, the road will be closed between its junctions with Kennerty Mills Road and Millside Street from 6am on Thursday, 02 February until 6pm today, 03 February.

A council spokeswoman said: "We apologise for any inconvenience to motorists while these essential works are being carried out to the bridge and Kennerty Road.

"We hope to avoid as much disruption as possible and will aim to open the bridge earlier if all goes to plan. Motorists should note these dates are provisional and subject to change."
