Armadale Road Whitburn Sewer Replacement
Armadale Road
The road is closed to southbound traffic heading from Bathgate into Whitburn
We are carrying out urgent sewer replacement work on Armadale Road in Whitburn, West Lothian.
A pipe running beneath a pavement is in extremely poor condition and approximately 100 metres needs to be replaced.
We had hoped to keep the road open for traffic travelling from Whitburn town centre towards Armadale and Bathgate but unfortunately motorists were ignoring no entry signs in the other direction and driving into oncoming traffic.
Armadale Road is therefore closed to all traffic between East Main Street and Empire Street.
Everything is being done to carry out the work as quickly as safety will allow. We would like to thank everyone affected for their patience and understanding.
Teams are working to excavate and replace a pipe beneath the road
Approximately 50 metres of sewer has been replaced on Armadale Road
Latest Update - January 2026
We have completed the installation of 18 metres of new pipe on the footpath.
The site has now been moved further down the road towards West Lothian Danceworld to allow approximately 60 metres of new sewer to be laid.
Good progress is being made and providing there are no unexpected issues we anticipate completing the work by the middle of February at the latest.
We will continue to do all that we can to minimise disruption for residents and road users, particularly those within the road closure and would like to thank all those affected for their patience and understanding.
