BORDERS motorists have been warned ahead of the installation of temporary traffic lights on a major road for 16 weeks.
The A702 at Brownsbank Farm, north of Candy Mill, will be reduced to one lane from Monday (August 26).
It is to allow upgrades to safety barriers, while “essential” works are also to be carried out on a masonry arch structure underneath the road.
Overnight closures of the A702 may also be required, according to officials. Further details will be published when dates are confirmed.
David Bishop, BEAR Scotland’s south east unit bridges manager, said: “We thank road users in advance for their patience during these upgrade works.
“The new safety barriers we are installing will improve safety for motorists using the A702 north of Candy Mill.”
