Haudagain roundabout in Aberdeen to shut for five nights

Roads leading to one of Aberdeen’s main roundabouts will be closed overnight this week as a major revamp nears completion.

North Anderson Drive will be shut between Middlefield Place and the Haudagain from 7pm-midnight on Sunday, March 13.

The following two nights there will be closures on the eastbound carriageway of Auchmill Road between the Haudagain and Auchmill Terrace.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the westbound carriageway of the same stretch will be closed. On all four nights the carriageways will be shut from 7pm-6am.

The closures are to allow contractors to install new traffic management system.

The so-called Haudagain bypass will link North Anderson Drive to Auchmill Road.

It has been delayed several times – with transport bosses most recently blaming the weather as they pushed the winter completion date back to spring. 

In January, the P&J released exclusive drone footage of the work under way.

Transport Scotland has apologised for any inconvenience these latest closures will cause but has said they are necessary to ensure the safety of construction staff.
