So far, temporary changes have been made in Aberdeen City Centre to help protect public health by reducing Covid-19 transmission in the city. The measures will further help the economic recovery of the city and allow people to continue to walk and cycle safely. These temporary measures will create the space for people to physically distance near shops and eateries and are facilitating businesses to reopen.

Later stages of the works, which are due to start in the next few weeks, will see temporary changes to the road layout and on-street parking to widen pavements in Rosemount, Peterculter, and Cults, as well as on North Deeside Road and George Street. 

The designs are continually being reviewed and feedback from businesses and the public is being taken into consideration.

Temporary measures have been installed at the bridge end of Victoria Road in Torry which will allow people in the area to walk about and queue for shops and buses, while observing physical distancing.

A public consultation is currently underway for temporary improvements to the Beach Boulevard, Esplanade and Ellon Road - you can find out more here , where you can view the designs and give your feedback.
