Crucial carriageway resurfacing works on the busy A71 West Calder to Polbeth road are due to start on Monday 1 July 2013. 

The major project is expected to be completed on Friday 2 August and disruption to motorists is inevitable.  Motorists are being advised that the road will be closed for the duration of the works and diversions will be in place.  Pedestrians will not be affected.

The Council’s public transport team have worked with local bus service providers to ensure services continue with minimum disruption.  Passengers shouldn’t have to walk any further distance to access a bus as a result of the resurfacing.

For more information on the project, including diversion maps and information on public transport visit the Council's [1] website.
