All traffic exiting Seton Mains will not be able to turn right onto the westbound carriageway during the working hours.

The level crossing will also be closed.

Traffic will be diverted via Cockenzie and Port Seton along Links Road.

Emergency service vehicles will be exempt from the restrictions and buses will follow a diversion route.

The closure covers a distance of about 1,720 metres and is expected to conclude on Friday.
