A946 Link in Aberdeen
The now-unclassified former southern end of the A946

The A946 was a short link road in Aberdeen. Starting on the A96 George Street, the road once ran along Powis Place, Causewayend and West North Street to cross the A92 King Street. It then continued along East North Street and Commerce Street and so into the docks where it ended on Regent Quay. It is still marked on large scale OS sheets in the mid 1960s, and is still shown (although un-numbered) on the 1982 OS Landranger sheet, with the A96 also shown as un-numbered on its old route. The A96 was diverted in about 1982 when two shopping malls were built over its southern end, so took over the A946 route at least as far as King Street. (It is not certain when A956 took over the section east of King Street.) The 1988 Readers Digest Atlas shows the A946 on the city street plan as being a primary route leading to the A96 (presumably having not updated the number), but the A96 is no longer shown on the plan. This plan also suggests that the route doubled back from Commerce Street onto Virginia Street. At this point it is uncertain what number was given to the route east of King Street and around the harbour (now A956).

This route has now been fully upgraded to dual carriageway as far as the Hanover Street junction with Commerce Street and is the route of the A96 as far as King Street (former A92, now A956), and then the A956 to Hanover Street, after which it is unclassified.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Aberdeen (Powis Place, Causeway End, West North Street, East North St, Commerce Street)
