Overnight works to renew the road surface on the A702 south of Hillend are set to take place between 19:30 and 06:30 on the nights of Thursday 24, Friday 25 and Monday 28 July.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will carry out the project.
For the safety of workers and road users, the A702 will be closed in both directions between Hillend Junction and Easter Howgate during the works.
A diversion route suitable for trunk road traffic will be signposted, via the A703 Seafield Moor Road, the A701 and Bush Loan Road, adding an estimated 1.9 miles and 4 minutes to affected journeys.
Consultation has taken place with relevant stakeholders in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These surfacing improvements on the A702 South of Hillend will address and repair defects in the road surface such as potholes and cracks, creating safer and smoother journeys for motorists.
“It is essential for safety that we close the road during these works, however we’ve scheduled them during overnight hours to minimise any disruption.
“We thank road users in advance for their patience.”
