The A68 is expected to reopen early next week after severe rain left a gaping hole in the road near Fala.
BEAR Scotland say repairs to the collapsed embankment near Fala are on track for completion as programmed.
Locals had said diversions put in place around the landslip had caused road chaos, with HGVs forced through local East Lothian villages.
Debs Crompton from Fala Dam near the road closure took to Twitter saying A68 traffic had been diverted through the village.
She added: “Single track road, blind bends, no lighting or pavement and being passed at 60mph and by articulated lorries.”
BEAR Scotland, who manage the road, said the embankment has now been built back up close to road level and phase three of the repairs have begun, in which the road itself and associated infrastructure such as drainage, kerbing and the roadside safety barrier will be constructed.
