A92 (S) Bridge of Don to Bridge of Dee Multi-Modal Transport Study

Overview

Aberdeen City Council is undertaking a Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) based  appraisal of options for improving transport connections, in particular public transport and active travel (walking, wheeling and cycling) along and across the A92 corridor (Anderson Drive and the Parkway) between Bridge of Don and Bridge of Dee.

The study also considers the B997 Scotstown Road/North Donside Road

Please find below a map overview of the study corridor.

Key aims of the study are to identify options that:

• Reduce the severance effects caused by the A92 for journeys across the corridor, particularly for journeys by bus;
• Enable the A92 corridor to be a more effective connector between communities/key trip attractors for users of active modes;
• Reduce the environmental impact of traffic on the A92 corridor;
• Reduce real and perceived road safety risks for users of all modes considering travelling along or across the A92 corridor;
• Support the roads hierarchy by encouraging use of the most appropriate routes for local and through traffic;
• Improve journey times and journey time reliability for buses and emergency vehicles.

This study is part of a series of ongoing multi-modal corridor studies across Aberdeen, some funded through Transport Scotland's Bus Partnership Fund (BPF).

The other ongoing studies, which are at different stages in their development are:

• A90 Ellon Park and Ride to Garthdee Transport Corridor Study (funded through BPF).
• A944/A9119 Westhill to Aberdeen Multi-Modal Corridor Study (funded through BPF).
• A96 Inverurie to Aberdeen Multi-Modal Transport Study (funded through BPF).
• A92 Stonehaven to Aberdeen Transport Study (funded through Local Rail Development Fund).
• A93 Banchory to Aberdeen Multi-Modal Corridor Study.
• A947 Bucksburn Roundabout to Parkhill Junction Multi-Modal Corridor Study.

Why your views matter

We are consulting to gain your views and feedback on the options that have been developed to improve travel on the corridor.

A number of end-to-end corridor options have been developed to meet the study objectives. More information about indovidual options is presented in a Story Map which is available to view at the link below.

We therefore invite you to give us your views using the link below. If you have further questions or comments, please contact:

What happens next

Responses received will be collated and analysed to:

• Establish views on the options presented;
• Help appraise and sift the options under consideration;

The findings from this public consultation will help to inform further analysis and appraisal of the options and will help to form the basis of future actions going forward for this project.
