Edinburgh A720 City Bypass slip road closure for repairs as drivers face delays

Edinburgh motorists are warned of delays due to repair works on the A720 City Bypass.

The slip road from the A720 Edinburgh City Bypass onto the northbound A1 at Old Craighall Junction will be closed for carriageway repairs on Friday 10 December.

A diversion will be in place that could lead to delays.

This closure will be in place from Friday December 10 at 8pm until the next morning at 6:30am on Saturday December 11.

A diversion for traffic wishing to join the A1 northbound at Old Craighall will be signposted via the A1 southbound, returning northbound from Wallyford Junction.

Emergency services and other relevant stakeholders have been consulted in advance to make them aware of the plans.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “It is essential that we close the slip road during these works to ensure the safety of road workers and motorists, however we’ve arranged for the work to take place overnight to minimise the impact.
