Aberdeen Roads Limited is a key player in the design, construction, and maintenance of highways in North East Scotland. The company is responsible for managing a significant stretch of road infrastructure, including the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie-Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) project. This major undertaking involved the construction of 58km of new highway, over 20km of slip roads, two new river crossings, and 150 other structures.
Since early 2015, the team has been actively involved in operating and managing sections of the A90 and the AWPR/B-T project as they became operational. Working collaboratively, Aberdeen Roads Limited has established a local team to provide essential services such as winter maintenance, litter picking, grass cutting, and assistance to broken-down vehicles. Their responsibilities extend to incident support for Police Scotland, third-party liaison for abnormal load movements, and providing expert advice on planning applications and signage proposals.
A dedicated maintenance depot at Craibstone Junction ensures efficient access to the full extent of the route for these operations. The company is committed to the ongoing operations and maintenance of the trunk road, with a long-term contract extending until November 2047. This includes comprehensive winter service plans and a proactive approach to roadside litter reduction, demonstrating their dedication to maintaining high standards of infrastructure management and public safety.
