WORK is to start next month on installing a new traffic light system at a roundabout on the city bypass.
The £360,000 project will be carried out on the Kingswells south roundabout after it was agreed by Aberdeen City Council’s operational delivery committee.
The cost is being funded by Transport Scotland, which was also the principle funder of the new trunk road, along with Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council.
Councillor Sandra Macdonald, Aberdeen City Council transport spokesperson, said: “I welcome the installation of traffic lights at the A944 roundabout to improve safety for motorists and cyclists at the junction.
“Council officers have been working with Transport Scotland and Police Scotland to identify measures and it’s good that work is now to start at this roundabout.”
The cost of the ongoing maintenance of the traffic lights will be met by Aberdeen City Council.
