HC Deb 29 July 1957 vol 574 c128W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland his present plans for improving the roads from King Street, Aberdeen, and up the east side of Aberdeenshire; and how these plans depend upon the progress made, and to be made, with the widening and reconstruction of the new bridge of Don.

Mr. Maclay

At present work is being carried out on four schemes on the trunk road from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh; one of them is being progressed to fit in with the reconstruction of the Bridge of Don. I hope that two other schemes on this road will start this year, and preparatory work has been completed for two more. These eight schemes will cover about 8½miles in all and their estimated cost is about £390,000. Other roads in the area are the responsibility of Aberdeen County Council as highway authority.
