Essential maintenance to a Broughty Ferry street is set to start next week.
King Street will be closed from Monday (August 10) for five working days while the Road Maintenance Partnership resurfaces the carriageway.
While the work is going on the temporary closure of the Esplanade will be removed to minimise disruption to road users as part of the co-ordination of closures and temporary diversions.
Broughty Ferry Esplanade has been closed to through traffic since June 15 as part of Spaces for People, a temporary infrastructure programme in Scotland offering funding and support to make it safer for people who choose to walk, cycle or wheel for permitted journeys and exercise, while physical distancing is in place during Covid-19 and as we transition out of lockdown.
When work in King Street is complete the temporary closure of the Esplanade will resume.
Businesses in King Street will open as usual during the essential maintenance, and access for residents will be maintained. Alternative routes will be signposted and drivers are being asked for their patience.
Dundee City Council
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%.
