Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and other relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland's South East Network Manager, said: "These surfacing improvements will improve safety and ride quality for motorists on this section of the A702.

"Road closures are essential for safety; however we've planned the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption. We will do all we can to complete the project as quickly as possible.

"We thank motorists in advance for their patience and encourage them to plan ahead by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information."
