To complete the new A1 slip road the temporary traffic barrier must be removed to tie in the new road. This requires night shift working from 16th to 18th June. Works will be completed as quickly as possible, and steps will be taken to minimise noise.
Forthcoming works include progressing the 3km haul road to the Branxton substation site, which crosses public roads at three locations. To support construction of these junctions (including signage, road widening and resurfacing), road closures have been agreed with East Lothian Council as follows:
- Location 2: Lawfield Road – 11th June to 5th July
- Location 3: ZU215 – 4th to 27th August
- Location 4:C121 – 19th August to 13th September
- C121 road widening requires a closure at Location 5: 14th September to 12th October
As construction on the project continues, SPEN will continue to carefully phase activities to minimise disruption and work closely with the community – ensuring residents are kept informed.
SPEN appreciate the community’s patience during these works and encourage people to contact the project.communications@spenergynetworks.co.uk email address with any questions.
