Work has begun on the biggest change to Aberdeen’s main thoroughfare since it was built 200 years ago.
The upgrade of Union Street has been hailed as a “major milestone” that will make the area more attractive while promoting walking and cycling.
The works include new pavements with locally-sourced granite, a road surface, and cycle lanes, and will help to create a plaza entrance to the new market building.
Aberdeen City Council co-leader councillor Ian Yuill said: “The work to Union Street central will complement the new market building and contribute to making our city centre an even more attractive place to visit.
