Youths across the north-east have been warned to stay away from the AWPR construction site in a renewed safety campaign.
The AWPR contractor has issued the warning and has reminded young people to “stay safe” over the summer months.
The advice comes after two teenagers filmed themselves dangling from construction equipment earlier this year.
They had climbed along a crane jib more than 100feet above the ground.
Malcolm Findlay, general manager for Aberdeen Roads Limited, is aware that sites may seem “attractive” playgrounds for exploring.
He said: “We secure our site using a variety of methods, including onsite security and fencing, but, very often, all it takes is just a few words of wisdom to prevent young people from making a mistake they may live to regret.
“We’ve spoken to more than 9,000 pupils from across the north east about safety since we started construction.”
Construction machinery, incomplete structures, unstable land, heavy goods vehicles in transit and open excavations are just some of the hazards that young people could encounter on the AWPR construction site.
Mr Findlay added: “We would like to ask parents, carers and teachers to have a conversation with young people in their care before the summer holidays get underway and remind them that construction sites can be very dangerous and the best way to stay safe is to stay away.”
A spokesman for Transport Scotland said there had been no further incidents of youths breaking into AWPR construction sites.
