A90

Construction of a new grade-separated junction on the A90 at Laurencekirk, to replace the existing flat crossroads between the A90 and A937.

No design has yet been selected for the new junction. Site investigations and traffic modelling are ongoing and options are due to be produced by 2018.

The work is taking place as part of the Aberdeen City Region Deal.

Upgrade of the existing A90 between Balmedie and Tipperty to dual two-lane standard, with provision of two new grade separated junctions. This will complete a gap in the existing dual carriageway that currently forms a major bottleneck.

Construction of a new dual two-lane grade separated bypass to carry the A90 around the western side of Aberdeen. This scheme constitutes the longest length of road under construction in the UK.

Its progression through the statutory planning process was particularly difficult and subject to a number of revisions to the road scheme and legal challenges from activists and others who were opposed to the road being built.

A new northern relief road from the A90 west of Invergowrie to the A90 north of Dundee, which is expected to take approximately 50% of through traffic from Dundee's existing bypass, Kingsway.

A full upgrade of the existing A90 Kingsway to expressway standard is also being considered as an alternative.
