Today, we map out what will happen to local roads along the length of the new Aberdeen bypass.

A minor road that runs from the B979 Netherley Road to the A90, immediately north of Stonehaven, will go under the bypass – but only for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders.

And a road from Blairs will be closed off at its junction with the A90 north of the Charleston flyover for safety reasons, requiring traffic to make a short detour to join the main road.

But, on the whole, local links will be retained, with roads fed above or below the bypass.
