Aberdeen City Council has revised the completion date for resurfacing and waterproofing works on King George VI bridge.
It is now due to finish in late June 2023 however this will be dependent on what is found in phase 2 of the works. This revised completion date is due to additional concrete repairs, the extent of which were not known until the bridge was opened.
Drivers are advised to avoid the area and use alternative routes. Bus passengers should check bus company websites or contact bus companies for how the roadworks affect routes.
For the King George VI bridge work, the work is being split into two phases and one lane of one of the two carriageways will always be open in one direction during these phases. Both pavements on the bridge will be always open for pedestrians during the work. The switchover of traffic restrictions between phases one and two will take place between Friday 5 May and Tuesday 10 May.
The bridge will be closed north-bound during phase one of the works, with only one lane heading south. Roads affected include Great Southern Road between its junctions with Duthie Park roundabout and the King George VI bridge roundabout, and the A92 Stonehaven Road between its junctions with Bridge of Dee roundabout and the Garthdee roundabout.
The bridge will be closed south-bound during phase two, with only one lane heading north. Roads affected included Great Southern Road between its junctions with King George VI bridge roundabout and the Duthie Park roundabout, and the A92 Stonehaven Road between its junctions with Bridge of Dee roundabout and the Garthdee roundabout.
The local diversion during both phases of the work is via the Bridge of Dee.
