Unfortunately, we have no option but to close this section of the A7 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, please also refer to the attached location plans and diversion drawings for further details.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
