The A93 (former B987) Springbank Terrace

The original B987 was a short route past the station in Aberdeen. It started at the A945 / A96 junction by the docks and headed west along Guild Street, before tunring north along Bridge Street to end opposite the B983 on the A92, Union Street. It was later extended south along along College Street then west on Willowbank Road and Springbank Terrace so as to reach the A92 / A93 junction. This addition effectively made Bridge Street a spur and was in place by 1948, although it is not known exactly when it was added.

Union Terrace, to the north of Union Street, was the original southern end of the B983 but the route was later extended over Bridge Street. The remainder of the B987 route became an extension of the A93, bringing it right into the heart of the city for the first time. This change happened at some point after 1971 and before 1998. In 2020, another review of route numbering in Aberdeen saw most of the former B987 become unclassified once more. The A93 was cut back to its original start point, leaving Willowbank Road and Springbank Terrace unclassified, as indeed they were in 1922. East Guild Street was also declassified. The remainder of the route, including the Guild Street / Wapping Street Gyratory and College Street are now part of the B983.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Aberdeen (Bridge Street and Guild Street)
