The slip road exiting the northbound A1 at Old Craighall Junction will be closed on the night of Monday 21 October, to allow investigation works to assess the condition of the carriageway in advance of future resurfacing.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will undertake the works between the hours of 21:00 to 06:00.
A signed diversion will be in place from for road users wishing to exit the A1 northbound. Road users will be diverted onwards to turn at Queen Margaret University Junction via the off and on-slips, before returning on the A1 to exit via the southbound off-slip at Old Craighall Junction. This diversion will add approximately 2.1 miles and 3 minutes to affected journeys.
Emergency services will be given access through the works at all times.
Relevant stakeholders have been consulted in advance to make them aware of the plans.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “It is essential for the safety of the workforce that we close the carriageway during these investigation works, however we’ve scheduled them during overnight hours to minimise any disruption.
“if you need to use this route on the night of 21 October, we’d encourage you to plan ahead and allow a few extra minutes for your journey.”
Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland at www.traffic.gov.scot or on X at @trafficscotland.
All work is weather dependent and subject to postponement or cancellation in the event of adverse conditions.
