Drivers face diversions as the A1 will close to traffic at Old Craighall tonight.
The busy route will be off-limits from 7.30pm on Monday until 6.30am on Tuesday while BEAR Scotland carry out roadworks.
These works will see road markings refreshed and road studs reinstated.
Only the southbound carriageway will be affected with diversions signposted via Old Craighall and the Wallyford junction via the A720, A68 and A6094 (Salters Road/ Whitecraig Road). This will add an estimated five minutes, or two miles, to journeys.
Emergency access will be maintained if necessary.
BEAR Scotland say physical distancing protocols are in place to protect teams and ensure they remain safe on site, in line with Scottish Government guidance.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These works are essential to ensure the safety of road users on this section of the A1.
"We’ve scheduled the project overnight to minimise disruption, however if you do need to travel at this time please allow a few extra minutes for your journey.”
