Plans are to go on display for the Laurencekirk Junction Improvement scheme.

Up to £24 million is being invited to create a new grade-separated junction at Laurencekirk, as part of a package of additional investment alongside the Aberdeen City Region Deal.

Residents and road users will have two opportunities over the next two months to view and comment on the preferred option that has been identified for the scheme.


The preferred option exhibitions will take place on 20 July and 24 August from 12 noon to 7pm at The Dickson Memorial Hall on Station Road, Laurencekirk.

Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity, Michael Matheson said: "Having put a number of options for the planned improvements at Laurencekirk on display last year and considered the feedback following the public exhibition, we are now able to let the public see and comment on the preferred option that has been identified for this much-needed upgrade.

"I would encourage as many people as possible to attend the exhibitions in July or August or view the material online and give us their views.

"All comments received will be considered as we look to publish draft Orders for the scheme next year."
