A historic Dundee thoroughfare is set for a £640,000 facelift.

The road surface and pavements on Euclid Street/Crescent, between Constitution Road and Albert Square, will be replaced with new granite setts and flagstones.

Mark Flynn convener of Dundee City Council’s city development committee said: “Euclid Street/Crescent has been at the heart of Dundee for more than two centuries, and while it now doesn’t see as much traffic as it used to, it remains popular with pedestrians.

“The current carriageway and pavements were in need of an upgrade and this work will bring them up to date, while retaining a period look with high quality materials.”

Work starts on Monday (March 29) and is expected to take five months. While contractors Dundee Plant are on site pedestrian access to buildings will be maintained.

Dundee draws skilled workers from a 60-minute catchment population of 640,000 and has a local population of over 140,000. The availability of a large pool of highly skilled labour is a key feature in the Dundee economy. Flexibility in the labour force is currently more prevalent in Dundee than in Scotland as a whole. All forms of labour market flexibility - part-time, temporary employment, self-employment and shift work - are widely operational within the city. Labour force stability in the city is excellent, enabling companies to plan with confidence. Labour turnover levels are less than 5% and absenteeism averages 2%.
