Virtuoso 27,180 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Major roadworks on the three main roads leading to Pittodrie: https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/police-advise-football-fans-to-avoid-roadworks-at-harbour-area-while-travelling-to-aberdeen-v-Rangers-match-tomorrow-night/ Avoid like the plague and find alternate route in. One option is: Take the bypass at Stonehaven and head for Kingswells/ Westhill, then onto the Langstracht. Straight on past ARI, past Cornhill hospital and down Hutcheon St and round Mounthooly roundabout. Follow signs for the harbour, passing Morrisons. Straight on at the lights in the left hand lane before turning left onto Park Street (where the Saltoun Arms is). WATP-FOREVER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landstracht isn't exactly a quiet route either mate, intact it is probably one of the worst at rush hour by the time the buses arrive at the tail end of it.

At least the Langstracht will be continually moving with city buses in bus lanes. The usual route in will be at a standstill. Was fucking gridlock earlier, before rush hour and that was without adding in further lane closures scheduled for tomorrow + football traffic.

Aberdeen rush hour tends to run at 3 till the back of 6 most days, Friday it starts at 12. Don't miss that at all, horrific city to drive in. chris182, Virtuoso and Muz333 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have everyone in Altens taking the alternative route through Kincorth which is already a rat-run. Further on, you'll have people going over the Queen Elizabeth bridge and up South College Street which is a nightmare at the best of times. Absolute clusterfuck. chris182 and Terry Hurlock Loyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

northern bear 2,883 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Might even be worth taking the bypass to dyce and coming in that way. Come off at dyce and then head into the centre. Downsides are the haudigan roundabout can be a mare and you'll end up on king street which will be full of sheepshaggers unless you're early.

That's a really awful route for a Rangers bus, would be left with no windows and wheels by the time it hits Kittybrewster!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Apparently building new sheep dips around the city. That's some fucking amount of delousing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
