“We have planned them to take place overnight in a bid to minimise disruption.

“We would request that all road users allow additional time for all journeys which involve the use of A72 Lanark Road, Rosebank during the times indicated and that they plan their journey accordingly.

“We are sure everyone will appreciate the improved condition of the road when the works are complete.”
