Large-scale infrastructure works ahead of a £375 million expansion of Aberdeen harbour are expected to be approved by Aberdeen City Council.Officers at the local authority have recommended councillors accept a raft of new works around Nigg Bay at today’s meeting of the planning development management committee. Included in the plans are huge road and drainage works, installation of cycle lanes and footpaths and miles of land surveys to be conducted.The new plans come as a section of Greyhope Road in Torry is being shut for three years to allow for construction of the expansion.The road will be closed to drivers from the bottom of Greyhope Road, where it meets St Fitticks Road and the Coast Road, up to Girdleness Lighthouse.The closure will be in place from April 17 until the completion of the construction works in June 2020.
