THE Forth Road Bridge will be closed to traffic over two days next week for "essential repairs ".
Operating company Amey said it will be shut between 8am and 4pm on Wednesday June 10 and Thursday June 11.
Work will be carried out on the joints in the carriageways.
A statement added: "All non-essential operations on the network have been stood down while the current coronavirus restrictions are in place, however these repairs are essential to ensure the continuing safe operation of the Forth Road Bridge.
"Work will therefore proceed in strict compliance with government guidance on social distancing and hygiene.
"Bus services will divert via the Queensferry Crossing during these times.
"The east footpath will remain open to cyclists and pedestrians on both dates."
