Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route This is the overbridge that carries the road between Bishopston and Little Bishopston. Almost all of the overbridges involve a deviation from the original line of the road they replace. Interestingly, there are 'no through route' signs at both ends of this particular bridge, but the road is a through road.

Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route This is the view from the Bishopston overbridge eastwards along the spur to Charlestown and the harbour area. As this is 2 January, it is still a public holiday; no doubt it will be much busier when people go back to work after the New Year holidays.
