The works will see BEAR Scotland resurface 200m of carriageway at the south end of Langholm, creating smoother and safer journeys for motorists.
To allow these works to be completed safely and efficiently, the A7 at Langholm will be closed in both directions from 19:30 on Thursday 11 November until 06:00 on Friday 12 November. On-street parking will be suspended at all times on this date.

A diversion route will be signposted between Hawick and Canonbie via the A6088, B6357 and B7201, adding an estimated 20 minutes and 6.8 miles to journeys. The A7 will remain open in both directions outwith these closures.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland's South East Network Manager, said: "These surfacing improvements will help to address the defects on this section of the A7 and will greatly improve the experience for motorists.
"It is essential for safety that we close the road during these works, however we've arranged for the project to take place overnight to minimise the impact.
"We thank motorists and the local community in advance for their patience and understanding."
