Edinburgh bypass to receive emergency overnight resurfacing work after vehicle fire

Part of Edinburgh's busy A720 bypass at the Sheriffhall roundabout will be closed overnight to repair the damage caused by a recent vehicle fire.

BEAR Scotland confirmed that the westbound section between the Sheriffhall roundabout and Gilmerton junction will undergo emergency resurfacing works on the night of Friday, July 22, from 20:30 until 06:00 on Saturday.

The work is necessary after part of the road was damaged when a van caught fire earlier in the month, causing a section of the road to be closed until the blaze was extinguished, with the fire evidently causing significant damage to the road's surface.
