What the timetable is for the dualling of the A90 Balmedie to Tipperty.

The A90 Balmedie to Tipperty scheme will be taken forward in a Non-Profit Distributing Model form of contract alongside the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWRP).
The agreed indicative timetable for the combined project is:-:
19 October 2012 – prior information notice published;
Early 2013 – Hold industry day with potential bidders;
Early 2013 – Publish Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) contract notice;
Spring 2013 – Issue invitation to tender;
Autumn 2014 – Award contract / commence works; and
Spring 2018 – Construction completion.
We will look at opportunities for opening parts of the AWPR / Balmedie to Tipperty project as early as possible to ensure maximum benefit to the people in the North East in advance of the full scheme opening in spring 2018. We will discuss the phasing of these opportunities with tendering parties through the competitive dialogue period when tender documents are issued in spring next year.
