An Aberdeen underpass has closed for a month for flood prevention works.
Repairs will begin today on a culvert in the area of Dyce which helps to alleviate flooding.
In order to facilitate the works, the Parkhill flood relief culvert/pedestrian underpass will need to be closed to the public.
The work is anticipated to take a month to complete, depending on the weather.
The access path leading up to the old railway line from Dyce Drive will also be closed to ensure public safety and pedestrian diversion signs will be in place directing to the next access route via McIntosh Crescent.
The culvert is designed to relief the pressure exerted on the bridge during a high flood event.
The contract for the renovation of the Flood Relief Culvert at Parkhill has been awarded to a company which specialises in concrete repairs.
Local councillor Barney Crockett urged residents to plan their routes ahead but added he felt it was “important” that the works take place.
He said: “I think it is important that we ensure everything is working well and repairs are carried out where needed.
“I’m sure local residents will be understanding of this closure and will plan their routes accordingly.”
