Aberdeen City Council has submitted a full planning application for the Berryden Corridor Improvement Project, which is expected to enhance the road network in the city.
As Berryden Road and nearby roads are currently operating beyond capacity, the project will improve the efficiency of the road, cycleway and pavement network through improving journey time reliability, relieving congestion, and improving infrastructure for walking and cycling.

The upgrade project will involve the widening of the existing road and junction improvements from Skene Square to Ashgrove Road.
It will also include the construction of a new section of road between Ashgrove Road and Kittybrewster roundabout adding more than 1.7miles of additional lane capacity.
The improved section of road would have traffic light junctions instead of roundabouts, except for the Kittybrewster roundabout which will remain.
Upon completion, the improvement project will offer over 10 new pedestrian crossings, nearly 0.8 miles of additional footways, and 2.2 miles of new cycle tracks.
