Works to progress on new market

Construction work on the new Aberdeen Market will progress this month with scaffolding erected to the front of the former British Home Stores building on Union Street and at the rear on the East Green during structural alterations.

To allow this work to be completed safely, the East Green between its junctions with the Green and Carnegie Brae will be temporarily closed to vehicles from 07:30hr on 16 September 2024 until 23:00hrs on 30 September 2025. Pedestrian access will be maintained at the rear of the properties on East Green.

The substructure work to install new ducting and drainage on the market site will also begin. This work may generate some noise and dust at times as it involves cutting and removing sections of the ground level concrete slab. The site team will have mitigation measures in place to minimise any impact during this work.

On completion of the drainage installation, work will begin to waterproof the existing ground level concrete slab and will continue until December 2024.

During these works, shops and businesses in the Green will remain open for business and access for the public will be maintained.
