Commenting on the works, Carnie Morrison, Highway Management (Scotland) Limited General Manager, said: “These essential maintenance works are being carried out overnight when traffic flows are reduced to minimise delays to motorists as much as possible.”

“The traffic management is required to ensure that both our teams as well as all road users are kept safe during the essential maintenance works, however teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.”

“We thank all road users for their patience while these essential works are carried out and encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date journey information.”
