A section of the A77 near Girvan will be closed for a full weekend next week for road repairs.
Essential maintenance on the A77 at Shalloch Mill, south of Girvan, will see a full weekend closure of this section of the carriageway, from 7pm on Friday, November 18 until 6am on Monday, November 21.
A signed diversion will be in operation as the £222,229 scheme by Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland as part of the Network Management Contract for the South-West Trunk Road Unit, gets underway.
The diversion will operate as follows:
•Southbound traffic will exit the A77 at Shallochpark Roundabout onto the A714 and follow to North Barnkirk, turning right onto the unclassified road to South Barnkirk and then turning right onto the A75 and continuing westbound towards Stranraer before taking the A751 to Innermessan and rejoining the A77 northbound towards Cairnryan.
•Northbound traffic will take the A77 southbound and turn left onto the A751 then left onto the A75 eastbound towards Newton Stewart, turning left onto the unclassified road at South Barnkirk then left onto the A714 at North Barnkirk and following to the A77 Shallochpark Roundabout.
Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works, which are said to benefit around 4,073 vehicles using this route each day.
