The A937 at Marykirk which was severely damaged during Storm Babet in October 2023 has now reopened.
A spokesperson for Aberdeenshire Council said; “Our thanks go to principal contractor WM Donald Ltd who have done an exceptional job in a short space of time to get the route repaired and back in use for the local community – and of course to our own crews who did the overlay of the carriageway and the surfacing of the footway, as well as undertaking inspections as soon as the work was completed.”
They continued: “This closure has had a significant impact on the local community – both for residents and businesses – and we do appreciate your patience and understanding as the design work and repairs were undertaken. The section of road was badly damaged by flooding back in October and again at the start of this year. The completed works included scour protection to mitigate the impact during future events.”
