Work on Dundee's waterfront moves on to Dock Street this week.

The street, which will be resurfaced and have new kerbing installed as part of the works, will be closed to through traffic for up to six weeks.

It is the latest in a series of work projects aimed at sprucing up the waterfront, at a total cost of £1bn.

Dundee City Council said that the work will be carried out in two phases with different diversions in operation during each, "to minimise disruption and maintain access".


In the first section parts of Dock Street, Crichton Street and Whitehall Crescent adjacent to the podium block will be closed with bus and taxi traffic diverted along Dock St. and Whitehall Crescent, Whitehall Street, Nethergate and Crichton Street.

When that section is complete there will be a partial closure at the east side of the podium block and a full closure on the west side of Dock Street to the south of the Tasting Rooms pub. Traffic will divert around Whitehall Crescent.

Tayside Contracts is carrying out the work which starts today (Monday June 25).
