Union Street Central streetscape works drive forward with road surface removal
Works to improve the streetscape in the Union Street Central section of Aberdeen have continued with the removal of the top layer of the road surface.
A specialist machine was used by contractors to skim the tarred surface down to expose the concrete base underneath the road. The 100m section of the street was cleared in a day. The asphalt planings were taken away from site to be recycled.
The next stage of work to be carried out will be the removal of the concrete base from this section of the roadway to allow the installation of new drainage and utility services. Once this work has been completed work will begin to install new wider pavements with a cycle lane, using locally sourced granite, a new road surface and a plaza entrance for the new market.
Shops and businesses on Union Street Central remain open and accessible for pedestrians and deliveries during the works. The public can visit the city centre using public transport or car parks to access shops and services.
