The eagerly awaited build completion of the Arbroath A Place for Everyone will be marked with a series of events over the few weeks, in preparation for the official launch in spring of 2026 when all soft landscaping is complete.

Last week saw traffic restrictions lifted on the project, six weeks earlier than the originally planned 77-week timeline.

The whole of the new section of road is now running under permanent signalling with the contactors Balfour Beatty expected to move off site within the next few weeks.
