We are advised by the council that contraflow systems will be in place during peak hours to allow for resurfacing works on the A1 Musselburgh Bypass from tomorrow 16 January 2015.

The main works, which are estimated to last four weeks, are located on the northbound carriageway between Newcraighall Junction and The Jewel Roundabout. There will also be some patching works on the southbound carriageway.

Work will take place both daytime and overnight.

A tidal contraflow system will be in operation during peak hours providing two traffic lanes northbound and one lane southbound during the morning peak and vice-versa during the evening peak period.

The northbound onslip from Newcraighall Road onto the A1 will be closed for the duration of the works with diversions via Newcraighall Road, Duddingston Park South and Milton Road.

In addition, some overnight closures of the northbound and southbound carriageways between Newcraighall Junction and The Jewel Roundabout will be required, with diversions as above.

Residents and businesses have been advised of the works.
