A947 Bucksburn Roundabout to Parkhill Junction Multi-Modal Corridor 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 the A947 Dyce corridor between Bucksburn Roundabout and Parkhill Junction.

Please find below a map of the study corridor.

   Key aims of the study are to identify options that:

• Increase the modal share of walking on the A947 corridor for all journey types;
• Increase the modal share of cycling on the A947 corridor for all journey types;
• Increase the modal share of public transport on the A947 corridor for all journey types;
• Increase east-west connectivity within Dyce to enhance walkability within the local area and promote improved accessibility for local movements;
• Improve accessibility to the key transport hubs of Dyce Rail Station, Aberdeen Airport and Craibstone Park and Ride and key destinations including TECA by non-car modes;
• Ensure the main routes through the Study Area function in accordance with their role in the revised Roads Hierarchy.

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 Bridge of Don to Bridge of Dee 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.

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.

An online Virtual Consultation Room has been set up to provide more information about the option concepts that have been developed as part of the study. The A947 Transport Study Virtual Consultation Room is available to view at the link below.

We are also holding an in-person consultation event in Dyce Church Hall, Victoria Street, Dyce, AB21 7BJ on Wednesday 27 July from 4pm till 8pm, and online drop-in sessions via the virtual consultation room with members of the study team, on the following dates:
