The Diamond Bridge, known during planning and construction as the Third Don Crossing, is a bridge across the River Don in Aberdeen, Scotland, opened in 2016. It is the third crossing of the river open to all traffic between the suburbs of Bridge of Don and Aberdeen City, after the Bridge of Don and Persley Bridge.

History

Proposals for a third Don crossing have been made since the 1970s.[3] The city council agreed to begin the project in 2003, and by 2004 decided on a preferred route. Construction began in November 2014[1] and the completed bridge was opened in June 2016.[2]

A worker was killed by an excavator during construction of the Don Crossing on 13 January 2016, an incident that led to Balfour Beatty being fined £600,000.[4]

Route

A new 2.4km road connects Fairview Street in Danestone to the bridge, which then crosses to Gordon's Mills Road in Tillydrone. The crossing allows traffic from northern suburbs to reach the city centre without having to join the confluence of two of Aberdeen's busiest roads, the A92 and A96, at the Haudagain roundabout. Along with the new crossing, a streamlined "Berryden Corridor" supports the extra traffic to the city centre.[5]
