Many residents have asked me why a new right turn has been created on Broughty Ferry Road Greendykes Road
I first raised this matter with the council when I saw the trees being felled, before the road works started.
The director of city development has advised me that the right turn is part of the implementation of a replacement road bridge over the rail line at Stannergate. It has been viewed as an essential infrastructure enhancement to support the development potential of Dundee Port.
The introduction of the right turn from Broughty Ferry Road into Greendykes Road (and enhanced left turn from Greendykes Road into Broughty Ferry Road) is to provide a suitable route for HGVs to and from the Port of Dundee onto and from the trunk road and it was considered preferable to keep HGV activity on the A class road network rather than use Craigie Drive.
