Refurb Work Complete On Bridge In Aberdeenshire

Construction News Image
Refurbishment work has been completed on the B-listed Dee Bridge at Ballater in Aberdeenshire.

The bridge was damaged during Storm Frank in 2015 and it was bombarded with debris including tree trunks and caravans that had been washed away.

Coffey Construction was appointed to carry out the repair work which took around 13 weeks to complete and cost approximately £450,000.

Loose and decayed mortar was removed from the masonry before it was repointed, and the bridge's deck has been fully resurfaced.

Chair of the Marr Area Committee, Moira Ingleby, said: "While there's clearly been some inconvenience around the bridge while this work has taken place I think people have appreciated the fact it is happening and are glad to see it back in full use and looking so good.

"I'm well aware this is a very well used bridge which is important for tourism and recreation, as well as linking our communities, and I hope such an extensive refurbishment will see its future secured, with minimal intervention and disruption in coming years."
