Aberdeen will experience significant roadworks on South College Street for the next 10 months, causing delays and disruptions for drivers.
Aberdeen: Drivers are in for a tough time. South College Street is about to get a major facelift, and it’s going to take a whopping 10 months. Remember the chaos from the last round of upgrades? Yeah, it’s back.
This time, they’re digging up the roads to replace some old underground electricity cables. It’s all happening between the Clayhills substation and Redmoss on Langdykes Road. So, expect delays.
SSE is on the job, replacing 10 kilometers of outdated cables. These are the last ones in the Aberdeen ring network that need an upgrade. They’re trying to keep things smooth by using existing underground ducts, which should help cut down on the mess.
The goal? To make the electricity supply more reliable for everyone in the area. They want to ensure that homes and businesses have a steady power supply.
And just a heads up, they’ll be working on several roads, including Great Southern Road and Wellington Road, starting January 12. It’s going to be a long haul, but they’re planning to do it in stages to minimize the impact.
So, if you’re driving around Aberdeen, keep an eye out for traffic management signs. It’s going to be a bumpy ride for a while!
