Section of Deeside Way to close for 6 months
The closure means a small diversion will be in place for Sunday's Kiltwalk.
A section of the popular Deeside Way will be closed until November to allow essential tree felling operations.
The work was due to take place later in the year to avoid nesting birds but it has been brought forward due to safety reasons.
It comes days before hundreds of people will walk along the route for Aberdeen's Kiltwalk on Sunday.
The stretch of the old Deeside Railway Line in Peterculter - from Pittengullies Brae to Culter Station and Lovers Walk - will be closed while the trees are felled and replaced by shrubs.
Kiltwalk diversion
The Kiltwalk comes to the North East every year with walkers taking part in 18-mile long 'mighty stride' which sets off from Duthie Park and ends in Banchory.
The closure at of the Deeside Way will only have a small impact on the Kiltwalk route.
A spokesperson for the Kiltwalk confirmed a small 0.7 mile diversion will be in place.
“The Aberdeen Kiltwalk will be going ahead as normal on Sunday 2nd June. We are aware that a small part of the route requires essential maintenance and have already been in discussions with Aberdeen City Council and Police Scotland to secure a safe 0.7 mile diversion that will reroute Kiltwalkers around the area on the Deeside Way.
"On the day, Kiltwalkers will be safely directed by stewards, staff, volunteers and signage onto our new diversion route before re-joining the original route at Station Road East.
"Everyone at the Kiltwalk is geared up for Sunday’s record-breaking event and looking forward to welcoming over 5,000 Aberdeen Kiltwalk heroes to raise vital funds for over 460 different Charities.”
