Have received the following update from the City Council about this long-standing issue; good to see it finally resolved :Station Overbridge
The first phase of work on the Central Waterfront re-aligned South and West Marketgait in 2005. As part of this phase the pedestrian bridge that ran from the station to the Nethergate Centre was removed on16 & 17 Aug 2005. The pedestrian crossing at road level that is now located at the south end of Union St replaced it. This works well, is more convenient and is far better for disabled people or those with pushchairs and luggage heading for the station.
Part of the overbridge was not removed at that time and remains attached to the station building, where it has become a bit of an eyesore. Additional permissions from the rail companies were needed. At last all the arrangements are in place for the dismantling of this piece to occur over the weekend of 27th and 28th Sept. A large crane will be positioned in the road way that forms the taxi rank and it will lift the bridge off in sections and place it on the ground where it will be cut into large pieces capable of being removed by lorry for complete dismantling elsewhere.
There is preparation work required prior to the crane arriving and then afterwards some re-instatement work. From Monday 23rd Sept to Friday 3rd Oct this results in minor alterations to pedestrian access to the station and to the taxi rank being temporarily positioned on the south side of the station towards Riverside Drive. Access to most of the public car park will still be possible.
