Carnie Morrison of Highway Management (Scotland) said:“These essential maintenance works are being carried out overnight when traffic flows are reduced to minimise delays to motorists. The traffic management is required to ensure that both our teams, as well as all road users, are kept safe during the essential road marking works.

“However, teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.

“We encourage all motorists to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date journey information.”
