Multiple Road Closures in The Ferry to Facilitate Replacement of Electrical Supply Cable

Major disruption for drivers that use Claypotts Road in The Ferry is signalled by Dundee City Council's publication of a Traffic Order which is due to come into force on Monday 4 February 2013. 

Dundee City Council propose to make an Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 for the purpose of facilitating works laying a new 33kv electrical cable. The Order is expected to be in force for nine weeks from 4 February 2013. Its maximum duration in terms of the Act is eighteen months.

The effect of the Order is to prohibit temporarily all vehicular traffic in:

1. A92 Arbroath Road, Dundee eastbound between Kingsway East and Gotterstone Avenue
2. St Vincent Street, Broughty Ferry between Queen Street and Brook Street
3. Brook Street, Broughty Ferry between St Vincent Street and New Road
4. Douglas Road, Dundee between Kingsway East and Kemnay Place
5. Kemnay Place, Dundee between Douglas Road and Arbroath Road
6. Claypotts Terrace, Broughty Ferry between Grove Road and Claypotts Road
7. B978 Claypotts Road, Broughty Ferry between Claypotts Terrace and Queen Street
8. A930 Queen Street, Broughty Ferry (Phase 1) between Claypotts Road and Fort Street (westbound only)
9. Queen Street, Broughty Ferry (Phase 2) between Fort Street and St Vincent Street (westbound only)
10. Access to Queen Street, Broughty Ferry from all side streets between Claypotts Road and Rowanbank Gardens (not all side streets will be closed at the same time)

Pedestrian thoroughfare and vehicular access to premises will be maintained where possible.  The road closures will be carried out on a rolling programme, however it may be necessary to close more than one road at any time.  An alternative route will be available via:

1. Strips of Craigie Road/ A930 Dundee Road West/A930 Dundee Road/West Queen Street/B978 Claypotts Road
2. Queen Street/Gray Street/Brook Street
3. Gray Street/King Street/Castle Street
