Option 12

Description

The main feature of Option 12 is a larger relocated roundabout at Haudagain. A new rail bridge would require to be constructed and Mugiemoss Road realigned and made dual carriageway to the Persley Bridge/Mugiemoss roundabout. Pedestrian, cycle and public transport facilities have been developed as part of this option. The cost of the proposal would be around £20million.

How it would operate

In traffic operating terms a larger roundabout provides more opportunities to access the roundabout by providing larger gaps between vehicles and entry arms. Widening and realigning Mugiemoss Road would allow two lanes to move from North Anderson Drive to Mugiemoss Road without merging into one lane which is currently a problem. This option does not provide any opportunity for improved access to the road network by any potential commercial development within the regeneration area. The design itself does not rebalance flows at the proposed roundabout therefore; the Auchmill Road to North Anderson Drive right turning traffic will see no benefit with this option in the short term before the AWPR is available.
