Aberdeen Pupils To Name Third Don Crossing

Published 14th Oct 2015

A group of Aberdeen pupils are to officially name the Third Don Crossing.

Kids from two city primary schools, Riverbank and Danestone Primary schools, will be given a list of preferred names, which they will then choose their favourite from.

The ÂŁ18m bridge is due to be completed in January.

Aberdeen City Council Finance, Policy and Resources Committee Vice-Convener Councillor Ross Thomson said: “It is fantastic that pupils will choose the name of the bridge and I’m sure they will have lots of fun with the project.

“The bridge will make a huge difference in their lives as they will be the ones growing up in the area and reaping the benefits of improved transportation links.

“It’s great to see the work so far on the bridge and when it’s constructed and opened, people living and working on both sides of the River Don will see a big difference in getting around their part of the city."
