The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/ B-T) project is a major infrastructure project being delivered by Transport Scotland in partnership with Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council. Extending northwards from Stonehaven to Tipperty, the new 58 kilometre road fully opened to traffic on 19 February 2018.
The road is expected to remove traffic from the city, as well as rural and urban local roads, which will reduce congestion and improve journey times as it bypasses the city of Aberdeen.
