Planned changes at Dundee’s Swallow Roundabout cancelled days before start date.

Overnight roadworks to change the lane markings and signs were scheduled to begin on Monday.

Planned changes to the Swallow Roundabout in Dundee have been cancelled just days before they were scheduled to begin.

Overnight roadworks to change lane markings and signs at the junction were scheduled to begin on Monday (August 25).

It came after a safety audit, which called the new roundabout layout “confusing” and warned that it could lead to accidents. However, the overnight works have been postponed.

Swallow Roundabout roadworks cancelled

Springfield Properties has been overseeing the construction of the Swallow Roundabout as part of its Western Gateway project.

The developer claims that permission was not received in time for the work to begin. Springfield sent an email update on Friday, saying:

“We had previously informed you that we would carry out remedial items at the Swallow Roundabout over the next two weeks, including alterations to signage and road marking work.

“Unfortunately, the necessary permissions were not received in time for the planned start date of August 25. “Our Contractor is liaising with all parties involved to secure the required permissions and agree a new date for the works to commence.” “To confirm, there will be no works taking place at the Swallow Roundabout on the week commencing August 25” . The approaches to the roundabout will remain open as usual.

Springfield has not provided an additional start date for the project.
