Overnight works to renew the road surface on a section of the eastbound carriageway of the A720 Edinburgh City Bypass from Lothianburn to Straiton are set to begin on Friday 4 March.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will carry out the project over three nights.
For the safety of workers and road users, the eastbound A720 will be closed between Lothianburn junction and Straiton junction from 20:30 on the nights of 4, 5 and 6 March. On Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 the closure will remain in place until 11:00 to allow for the new road surfacing material to cool! On these days, a 50mph temporary speed restriction will also be in force from 11:00 to 20:30, as traffic will be travelling over a temporary road surface.
During these closures, a diversion route will be signposted for eastbound traffic from Lothianburn to Straiton via the A702, B701 and A701.
