A68 Earlston to Millerhill | Road Marking Improvements
- Phased overnight road closures 2 June to 2 July 2025
Motorists using the A68 trunk road between Earlston and Millerhill Junction are set to benefit from brighter, clearer road markings and new road studs, with a total of 18 nights of improvement works scheduled from Monday 2 June to Wednesday 2 July.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will carry out the works on Monday to Friday nights, with a different section of the A68 closed between 19:30 and 06:00 each night as detailed in the table below:
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and other relevant stakeholders to make them aware of the plans in advance.
Emergency services will be able to pass through at all times and local access for residents living within the closure points will be maintained when it is safe to pass through the work area.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These road marking improvement works will enhance safety for motorists using the A68 between Earlston and Millerhill Junction.
“We’ve scheduled the works to take place at night to minimise any disruption, however we encourage motorists to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys if they do need to travel on these nights.”
