BEAR Scotland, acting on behalf of Transport Scotland, is continuing to undertake essential civils works for the installation of traffic signals on the A702 in Biggar Town Centre between Park Place and Station Road.

The duration of the works is being extended due to the existing bridge deck being shallower than expected and utilities being diverted or removed. Please find the enclosed location plan for clarity.

The works have been programmed to continue from 30th March 2026 for an additional duration of 19 days, and expected to finish on 17th April 2026, with work taking place between the hours of 06:00 and 18:00 each day. This includes Saturdays and Sundays.

To ensure the safety of the workforce and the public it is necessary to utilise temporary four-way traffic signals with designated temporary pedestrian crossings between Park Place and Station Road throughout the duration of the works.

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times and the same access arrangements that have been in place for residents and businesses during the works to date will remain in place. All traffic management will remain in place out with working hours.
