Kowalski Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Ruling clears obstacles on route to bypass – by 2017 By Ryan Crighton Published: 12/08/2011 Drivers could be on Aberdeen’s long-awaited bypass by 2017 after a judge cleared the way for the road to be built. The legal challenge which has held up the city’s Western Peripheral Route was dismissed at the Court of Session yesterday. The decision was met with relief by First Minister Alex Salmond and business leaders, who said the north-east’s congestion nightmare would soon be over.

Tyrant Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I guess because a big road like that takes a while to build? Although I don't know enough about building roads to know how long it should take. My guess is they're still scrutinising the route to see where else they can stick some round-abouts, traffic lights, 20 mph zones and zebra crossings to make the road as much of a PITA in the ass to negotiate as possible. See every other fucking road in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire as reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redordead Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If its not in the central belt then it doesnt need to be done properly. THiss NEEDS to be a proper upgrade to a motorway or it just wont work. If this is the case then Aberdeen as per usual when major ifrastructure projects are dished out get second best. A petition needs to happen to get a REAL WPR which is both useful and safe. Edinburgh or Galsgow wouldnt tolerate second best. They've done such a good job at castlecary that I no longer have an On ramp. Shambles with no concern for public convenience or safety. A few thousand extra cars through castlecary village twice a day must have them singing the praises of this fantastic construction work !!

Bastards You can make that 7 now: RoadSense defends Aberdeen bypass challenge Campaigners set to challenge AWPR By David Ewen chief reporter Published: 29/08/2011 THE chairman of Aberdeen bypass campaigners RoadSense has defended the group’s stance. William Walton of RoadSense is set to challenge the planned Aberdeen bypass in the courts again, which means it might not be ready until nearer 2018. William Walton said: “Our group is not necessarily opposed to a bypass in principle. We take the view that this particular route is going to be hugely expensive and is not a good use of public resources.” Petition: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/roadsense-stop-the-nonsense.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think the pro campaign has been very vociferous, and probably has led to this muppets thinking they've got the necessary support.
