A Lanarkshire road is set to close for up to a week as motorists are warned of a lengthy diversion.

The A73 at Cloburn Quarry will be shut from Monday, October 26, with the closure expected to remain in place for up to seven days.

During the closure, drivers will be diverted via the A73, A70, A721, A702 and back onto the A73, with the same route operating in reverse.

The diversion takes motorists away from the closed section towards the A70 and A721 before travelling south via the A702 and reconnecting with the A73.

Drivers who regularly use the route are being advised to take the closure and diversion into account when planning journeys.
