A SECTION of East Lothian’s busiest road will be closed on Friday.

Resurfacing works will be carried out between the Thistly Cross and Spott roundabouts on the eastbound carriageway of the A1.

A letter sent out to residents in Dunbar reads: “The works shall be carried out by Tarmac on behalf of Amey and shall address carriageway defects to ensure future longevity of the road construction.

“To undertake the works safely, a southbound (eastbound) closure of the A1 will be required.

“A signed diversion will be in place, which will bring increased traffic through Dunbar.”

The closure takes place from 8pm tomorrow until 6am the following day.
