Hide AdTommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s Southeast Network Manager, said: “It is essential for the safety of the workforce that we close the road while these works take place, however we’ve scheduled them during overnight hours to minimise any disruption. We thank motorists in advance for their patience.”
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times, and local access will be provided for residents who live within the closure. All traffic management will be removed outside of working hours.
