Road repairs

I’m pleased to report that a number of carriageways in Broughty Ferry are to receive some attention during this financial year. I have repeatedly reported potholes requiring to be filled in most of them so it’s good to see that more permanent action is being taking.

A large section of Queen Street has recently received a full resurfacing. Whinny Brae and Long Lane from Fort Street to Gray Street are also to receive a full resurfacing. Motorists will be delighted to learn that the badly worn and rutted junction at Dundee Road/Westfield Road/Claypotts Road junction is to be getting resurfaced. There will also be full reconstruction at the problem bus stop locations on Strathern Road between Duntrune Terrace and Claypotts Road.

Claypotts Terrace is to receive a proprietary thin surfacing as is Collingwood Crescent and the west section of Strathmore Street from Campfield Road. A surface dressing is also planned for Redcastle Crescent. Balgillo Road/Strathmore Street from Marlee Road to Nursery Road will be patched and then receive a surface dressing as will Falkland Crescent. Oakley Place will be getting a thin surface treatment as well as its unadopted pavements made up (see earlier post on unadopted pavements).
