THE county's busiest road remains partially closed this afternoon (Monday), more than six hours after a lorry overturned near the Thistly Cross junction at Dunbar.
Police, fire and ambulance services were called out at about 8.30am after a lorry was blown over on the westbound carriageway in the morning's high winds.
And this afternoon, Traffic Scotland confirmed the road remains closed, with diversions in place.

It is unclear when the road will re-open, but the closure could cause lengthy delays for commuters as the evening rush hour approaches
