The A725 northbound and southbound carriageways between Raith Junction and Shawhead Junction will close for three nights from Monday, October 3 to Wednesday, October 5.
It will allow essential carriageway resurfacing works to be carried out.
Transport Scotland has advised the closures have been scheduled overnight to minimise disruption to traffic and are required to ensure road user and road worker safety.
The works are planned to take place in two phases as follows:
Phase 1 : Northbound - Monday October 3 (one night)
The A725 northbound carriageway will be closed overnight between the off slip road to A7071 near Raith Junction and Shawhead Junction (North Road).
As a result, the following slip roads will also be closed:

The overnight closures have been phased to ensure only one carriageway, northbound or southbound, is closed at any given time.

Signed diversion routes will be in place for both motorway and non-motorway traffic.
The works will be carried out by Scottish Road Partnership (SRP) on behalf of Transport Scotland to maintain the integrity and safety of this route.
