Road closure in Aberdeen for essential resurfacing works
A busy stretch of Rosemount Place in Aberdeen has been closed for two weeks as part of a significant resurfacing project. This road serves as a vital route for both cars and buses, facilitating access to numerous shops and businesses in the west end of the city.
Details of the closure
The closure extends from Richmond Street, near the popular Wool for Ewe store, down to Forbes Street, adjacent to Crolla’s Parlour. According to the Aberdeen City Council, this work is part of a larger £7 million resurfacing program aimed at improving road conditions throughout the city.
Impact on traffic and local residents
The closure is expected to significantly impact traffic flow in the area, as drivers will be rerouted through smaller residential streets. This change may lead to increased congestion and longer travel times for commuters. Additionally, the one-way systems on Richmond Terrace and Mount Street have been suspended to accommodate the changes, further complicating navigation for local drivers.
Challenges for businesses and public transport
Local residents and business owners are also facing challenges due to restricted access to their premises. The number three bus service, which typically travels through Rosemount Place, has been rerouted, affecting daily commuters who rely on public transport. Access to Skene Square School will now be directed from Skene Square, adding another layer of complexity for parents and students.
This closure is set to last until 4 PM on Sunday, November 10, and while the resurfacing works are essential for maintaining road safety and quality, the immediate effects on traffic and local businesses are a concern for many. Residents are encouraged to plan their routes accordingly and stay informed about the ongoing developments.
