A NIGHT time road closure on a route connecting Tranent and Prestonpans will be put in place next week.

Works will be carried out under the railway bridge on Johnnie Cope's Road, in Prestonpans, from Tuesday to Thursday from 10pm to 6am each day.

The closure means that people driving from Prestonpans to the car park on the southern side of the station cannot go under the railway bridge and are to use a diversion using the B1368, A198 and Tranent’s Church Street and Bridge Street before then accessing the car park from the south.

Similarly, people coming from the south will be unable to access the car park to the north of the railway line by driving under the bridge on Johnnie Cope's Road.
