A ROAD in Haddington town centre will be shut for much of the weekend.

The section of Hardgate linking Market Street and High Street will be closed from 7am on Saturday to 8pm on Sunday.

A spokeswoman for East Lothian Council said: “The works are being carried out by ITEC, who are the contractors for Scottish Water, doing a water connection.

"The road will be closed (at the section between High Street and Market Street); a diversion route will be signposted for vehicles but buses will run a different route with more details posted on the bus stops.”
