• Northbound and southbound carriageway closures 22 August 2022

Overnight carriageway closures will be in place on the A1 near Haddington on 22 August, as part of the project to replace joints on the bridge that carries the trunk road over the River Tyne.

The northbound carriageway will be closed for the first part of the night, followed by the southbound carriageway:

• The northbound A1 will be closed between Abbotsview Junction and Thistly Cross Roundabout from 22:00 until 01:00 on the evening of 22 August. Northbound traffic will be diverted via the A199.
• The southbound A1 will be closed between Thistly Cross Roundabout and Abbotsview Junction from 01:00 until 06:00 in the early hours of 23 August, again with a diversion signposted via the A199.

Chris Tracey, BEAR Scotland’s South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: “Overnight carriageway closures are required on the A1 to allow us to install these bridge joints safely.

“We thank motorists in advance for their patience. We ask them to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journey if they need to travel on the A1 on these nights.”

Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders including local authorities and Police Scotland in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
