New section of AWPR will open to motorists this week

By Gregor Aiken

The long-awaited AWPR that circumnavigates Aberdeen city centre is set to open in a few days time.

Transport Scotland confirmed the news today as the A90 between Stonehaven and Craibstone and the A956 between Cleanhill and Charleston route will open to traffic early Wednesday morning.

Aberdeen bypass will open next week but at a cost of more than £1 billion

The significant new section of road will give north-east road users access to around 20 miles of new road.

Police will be in operation phasing traffic onto the road as it opens – for safety reasons, there will be no access to the northbound AWPR from Kingswells North until the final section of road is complete.
