A1 Lamberton | Overnight Resurfacing

The A1 near the border with England is set to benefit from carriageway improvements, with Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland planning five nights of resurfacing works near Lamberton on 27-31 October and 3 November.

For the safety of road users and the workforce, the A1 will be fully closed in both directions between 19.30 and 06:00 each night.

A diversion route will be signposted between Berwick Upon Tweed and Ayton Junction via the A6105 and B6355. This will add approximately 6.6 miles and 7 minutes to affected journeys.

Emergency services will be given access through the works at all times.

Relevant stakeholders have been consulted in advance to make them aware of the plans.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These surfacing improvements will help to address defects on this section of the A1 and will improve safety and ride quality for motorists.

“It is essential for safety that we close the road while work takes place, however we’ve arranged for this to be done at night to minimise the impact.

“We thank motorists and the local community in advance for their patience and understanding. We’ll do all we can to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible.”
