Resurfacing the A70

The Lanark Road was closed. Fortunately a coincidence of lunch time and a very heavy rain shower gave a good chance of a dash through without some hazardous encounters with reversing vehicles. (A quick risk assessment had concluded that the lengthy diversion through Lanark was very hazardous compared with the closed and therefore empty A70). Complete road closures are increasingly common.
