Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), the electricity distribution network operator in the north of Scotland, will be carrying out essential emergency repairs to its underground low voltage network in Aberdeen this weekend. The works will take place on the southbound approach to the Garthdee roundabout on the A90.
To allow the works to be completed safely, a lane closure for traffic travelling on the A90 from the north will be in effect from 7.30pm on Friday 6 April until 4.00pm on Sunday 8 April. This lane closure affects the southbound approach to the Garthdee roundabout and the roundabout itself heading towards Holburn Street. A traffic management plan, agreed with BEAR Scotland and Aberdeen City Council, will be in place to minimise disruption to local road users.
Neil Wilson, SSEN's Head of Region, said:
"We recognise there is never a good time to close a lane on a busy road into Aberdeen so I would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused to the public this weekend."
"These emergency works are required to carry out essential repairs to the electricity network in the area to maintain a safe, secure and reliable supply of electricity to our customers. The lane closure is required to ensure the safety of local road users, the public and our engineers as repairs are underway."
"I'd like to reassure road users in the area we will do everything we can to minimise disruption. Our engineers will complete these works as quickly and safely as possible and the lane closure will be removed as soon as the emergency works are complete. I'd like to thank the local community in advance for their patience."
