Some major roads in Broughty Ferry will face serious disruption for many weeks in the New Year. Scottish Hydro Electric is carrying out a cable renewal scheme which is anticipated will take 16 weeks to complete. The scheme, commencing on 7 January, involves an electricity upgrade between Mid Craigie and Brook Street. The proposed route is Arbroath Road, Claypotts Junction, Claypotts Road, Queen Street, St Vincent Street and Brook Street.
I have been advised that the following road closures require to be in place to carry out the work: Douglas Road (Kingsway East-Longtown Road); Kemnay Place (Douglas Road-Arbroath Road); Arbroath Road (eastbound between Kingsway East and Fairfield Road); Claypotts Road (Claypotts Terrace-Queen Street); St Vincent Street (Queen Street-Brook Street) and finally Brook Street (St Vincent Street-New Road). The road closures will be a series of rolling sectional closures.
The traffic management proposals will be submitted to the council by the contractor for review and approval prior to commencement.
I will provide a programme showing the phasing of the closures when I have sight of it.
