Convoy system on the A1 for six nights
Resurfacing works are planned on the A1 at the southbound approach to Cockburnspath roundabout between the hours of 7.30pm and 6am each night. No works are planned to take place on Saturday and Sunday nights.
The A1 will remain open in both directions. To ensure the safety of the workforce and motorists, a 10mph convoy traffic management system will be implemented. The convoy system will be removed outside of working hours.

“A convoy system of traffic management will be in place during these works to safety of the workforce and motorist.
