Chris Tracey, BEAR Scotland’s unit bridges manager, said: “This essential maintenance work will increase the overall service life of the bridge and its surface.
“It is essential for the safety of workers and road users that we close the road during resurfacing, however, we’ve scheduled this part of the project overnight to minimise disruption.”
