Traffic accident on A720

[Golden Bear]

Just a wee heads up as it could affect fans travelling to today's game but hopefully the road will be clear in the next couple of hours. Looks like the closure is between Lothianburn & Straiton.

From Traffic Scotland:-

"A720 is closed in both directions at Straiton, this is due to a road traffic accident. The road will be closed for some time. Use the available signed diversion"

Thanks for the heads up

I'm on the 10.44 bus from Peebles. Currently stuck just after Straiton. Glad I got an earlier bus!

I wonder if the Killie Team bus is at ER already, seems a bit early for that or it could get caught up in in all

We came back from a wedding near Biggar earlier, and the traffic coming off the bypass and heading to the Frogston road was hellish.

It will almost certainly be quicker to go through town.


Just heard its a pedestrian hit by a car, so if its a fatality it will be shut for a long time.

They’d be on the M8 if anything. Doubt they’ll use the bypass unless they have stayed in or near Edinburgh.

I meant just getting caught up in all the traffic chaos

Theres a Braids Hotel in Washington DC?

Number 11 bus is/has been diverted at frogston road and going down howdenhall instead, just in case anyone is going for that

[Gatecrasher]

Ended up coming via gamekeepers Road, other than. Junction St it was pretty easy going. It still took about 30 mins longer than usual. Hope its cleared by FT.

I went through the city centre and I’m stressed out my nut!

Got here now but my blood pressure is through the roof.
