Options for Laurencekirk flyover open to public comment
Options for Aberdeenshire Laurencekirk junction replacement on public display.
Options for a flyover to replace the Laurencekirk junction in Aberdeenshire have gone on display.
Residents and road users took the opportunity to comment on and view the three options under consideration for the Laurencekirk Junction Improvement Scheme at St Laurence Hall on Monday.
Two variations of a flyover replacing the existing junction to the south of Laurencekirk and the realignment of the A937 with a new flyover north of the town are the three options at the junction with the A90.
Transport minister Humza Yousaf said: ""Since we appointed design consultants in September 2016, we have been working hard to identify and undertake an initial assessment of options for the planned improvements at Laurencekirk.
"We are now able to let the public see and comment on the options that are under consideration for this much-needed upgrade."
He added: "All comments received will be considered as we look to identify a preferred option next year."
Aberdeenshire Council leader Jim Gifford said: "As this region undergoes an exciting period of transformation and investment, improvements to the Laurencekirk junction are a priority and one of a number of infrastructure upgrades."
