Aberdeen roads return back to normal following floods

Aberdeen remained on flood alert throughout yesterday, though the drier weather returned the city’s streets back to normality.

The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (Sepa) kept a flood alert on the city, while the police issued a warning to commuters about potential flooding during high tide.

The north-east’s roads were subject to traffic chaos on Monday as a result of the rain and wind, with many roads across Aberdeen city and shire closed due to severe flooding.

A section of the Beach Esplanade, closed due to Monday’s high winds, was reopened yesterday.

Riverside Drive in Aberdeen was at risk of flooding at 4pm during high tide, with Aberdeen City Council road workers and police officers sent out to monitor the situation.

A police spokesman said there was “a possibility” that the River Dee would “overspill in the Riverside Drive area at around 4pm”.

Motorists were asked to expect delays and possible road closures in the lowest areas of road, opposite Duthie Park.

However, the river’s waters – though high – did not flow above the banks of the Dee.

The spokesman later said: “High tide came and went, we were there but the river did not come out over the road. The council were there too and there were no issues.”

They added that they may check on the road situation at next high tide, expected at 4am this morning.

Meanwhile, Scotrail has said their links between Inverness and the north-east will not be fully operational until today at the earliest.

More than 2in of rain fell in Aberdeen on Monday, almost a month’s worth.
