Elgin road to close for manhole repairs

ESSENTIAL work to repair two manhole covers will see an Elgin road closed on Thursday.

The repairs, which will be completed by Scottish Water’s contractor Kier, will take place on Ashgrove Road between 9.30am and 3.30pm to avoid peak time traffic.

Traffic management will be in place for the duration of the work, with a signposted diversion via Linkwood Road, the A941 and Maisondieu Road. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times.

A Scottish Water spokesperson said: "We would like to thank customers and road users for their patience and understanding while this essential repair work is completed.

"Our team on site will be working to keep disruption to a minimum, but we apologise for any inconvenience caused."
