Welcome
The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) is a new road being developed to improve travel in and around Aberdeen and the North-east of Scotland.
Backed by the Scottish Government, the road is being developed by Transport Scotland - the national transport agency - in partnership with Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire councils.
The AWPR is one of a number of transport projects planned to help improve road safety and accessibility, reduce congestion and grow the local economy - ensuring the North East remains a competitive business location.
In 2010 legal challenges were submitted to the Court of Session challenging
the decision of the Scottish Ministers to proceed with the AWPR. In August
2011 the Court of Session announced its decision to refuse these legal challenges.
An appeal against this decision has subsequently been lodged by objectors to the
Inner House of the Court of Session. This appeal will be heard in December 2011.
Working in partnership with Aberdeen City
Council and Aberdeenshire Council
on behalf of Transport Scotland.
