Great Northern Road is set to be closed for the entire weekend beginning tonight.

The major Aberdeen route will be shut for resurfacing works which begin at 7pm today and will last until 6am on Monday August 5.

The outside lane of the Haudagain Roundabout will also be closed as part of the works.

It means that drivers attempting to join the A96 from the city will likely face substantial delays.

Access will be maintained for the residents of Murray and Fullerton Court and for exit only from the Haudagain Retail Park.

Those looking to shop at the Haudagain Retail Park will need to enter via the ramp on Clifton Road.

Diversions will be signposted on both Clifton Road and Rosehill Drive.

The “essential” works are part of a £7 million part project to improve roads around the city.

Aberdeen City Council apologise for ‘inconvenience’ as Great Northern Road to close

Aberdeen City Council posted on Facebook: “Great Northern Road is to have a full weekend closure from 7pm TODAY (Friday 2 August) to 6am on Monday 5 August for essential resurfacing works which are part of a £7million resurfacing programme around the city.

“Access will be maintained for the residents of Murray and Fullerton Court and for exit only from the Haudagain Retail Park. Entry to the Haudagain Retail Park will only be permitted via Clifton Road via the ramp into the carpark.

“There will also be a lane closure on the outside lane of the Haudagain roundabout to allow workers to resurface up to the junction with the Haudagain with appropriate safety zones.

“Diversions will be signposted while works are ongoing with routes available via Clifton Road and Rosehill Drive.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the works.”
