THE busiest road in and out of North Berwick, which has already been shut for more than six weeks, should re-open next week.
On March 2, gas distribution company SGN began emergency works on the town's Dirleton Avenue, closing the road between its junctions with Hamilton Road and Ware Road.
This resulted in diversions for cars and public transport via surrounding streets.
SGN had been working on the gas network in the area when high gas readings were detected.

Waseem Hanif, spokesperson for SGN, said: "We're continuing emergency repairs to our gas network in Dirleton Avenue in North Berwick.
"All going well, we’re aiming to complete repairs by Sunday, 20 April.
"We will then need to restore the road surface to the required specifications before we can safely reopen the road in the following week: week commencing 21 April.
"We’d like to thank the North Berwick community once again for your continued patience and support."
