SCOTTISH TRUNK ROAD NETWORK MANAGEMENT CONTRACT – SOUTH EAST UNIT
A68 PATHHEAD CARRIAGEWAY RESURFACING AND IRONWORK IMPROVEMENT
INITIAL CONSULTATION

BEAR Scotland, acting on behalf of Transport Scotland, are planning to carry out essential carriageway resurfacing and Ironworks improvement works on the A68 in Pathhead. Please see the enclosed location plans for details.

The works are provisionally programmed to take place from Wednesday 18th of September until Sunday 6th of October for 19 nights between the hours of 19:30 and 06:00 each night, this is inclusive of weekend nights.

Unfortunately, due to the high volume of traffic through this section of the A68 we have no option but to close the road to ensure the safety of the workforce and members of the travelling public. During construction hours a clearly signed diversion route will be in place. Traffic will be diverted from Millerhill Junction on the Edinburgh City Bypass via the A720, A7, B6367 and B6458 to rejoin the A68 at Fala Dam.
