15 nights road closure for A7 improvements

 
 
The scheduled road closure will take place on Monday - Friday nights from 7.30pm - 6.00am.
 

Overnight works to resurface road south of Canonbie will run from Sept 30 – October 18

The E&L has been informed by BEAR Scotland that the main A7 road is set to have a series of surface improvements over the next fortnight.
This will, however, involve overnight closures with diversions in place to allow the work to be completed.

The BEAR Scotland web site provided the following statement:
The A7 is set to benefit from an improved road surface south of Canonbie, with 15 nights of resurfacing works scheduled on Monday to Friday nights from 30 September to 18 October.
The works will see Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland resurface 1.3km of carriageway on the A7 trunk road from the national border to north of the Canonbie B7201 junction.
Works will take place under a full road closure between the hours of 19:30 and 06:00 each night.
During these hours a signed diversion route will be in place. Road users travelling south on the A7 will be diverted off at the B720 junction, onto the B6357 to Kirkpatrick Fleming, the B7076 through Gretna, and then the A6071 to rejoin the A7 at Longtown. Northbound traffic will follow the same
diversion route in reverse. This will add an estimated 16
minutes and 10.1 miles on to affected journeys.
