Hide AdRadio 1 Big Weekend Travel information
People are being advised to expect significant travel disruption across Dundee and surrounding areas as tens of thousands of festival-goers attend Radio 1’s Big Weekend at Camperdown Park. Motorists and people using public transport are being asked to plan ahead for the weekend as journey times are likely to be longer.
According to Dundee City Council, there will be significant disruption on the A90 Kingsway near Camperdown as a major roundabout and access road closures are put in place to ensure public safety for those walking to and from the park. Traffic will also be restricted on the A923 Coupar Angus Road, with major diversions in place.
General public transport is also likely to be much busier as people make their way to and from the event, and also in and out of Dundee. Dundee City Council has produced a transport section on its website outlining how closures will affect roads.
