Overnight works to renew the road surface on the A702 at Boghall Farm in Midlothian are planned for the night of Wednesday 2 March.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will carry out the project, with all works to be completed between 19.30 and 06.30.
For the safety of road workers and motorists, the A702 will be closed in both directions during these works between Bush Loan Road and Damhead. A diversion will be signposted via the A701 and A703.
Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
Materials removed from the existing carriageway will be recycled using SEPA approved methods.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These surfacing improvements on the A702 at Boghall Farm will increase skid resistance and ride quality, creating safer and smoother journeys for motorists.
“A road closure is essential to ensure the safety of road workers and motorists, however to minimise delays we’ve planned the works to take place during night-time hours.
“We thank motorists in advance for their patience.”
Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website www.trafficscotland.org for live travel information and allowing extra time for their journey.
