As part of Transport Scotland’s strategic trunk road maintenance programme, Scotland TranServ will undertake the resurfacing of the A77 south of Cairnryan from Beoch to Drummuckloch this autumn.
Works to address issues with potholes and structural cracks over a 1.6km stretch of the carriageway will begin on Monday 16th October, and scheduled to run until Thursday 9th November.
Traffic management will be removed over the weekend of Friday 3rd to Monday 6th of Novemberin order for nearby works to be mobilised. The programme will resume on the 6th, with completion scheduled for Thursday 9th.
Darren Mitchell, Scotland TranServ’s Road Design Engineer said:
“Alongside counterparts at Police Scotland, the local authority and key stakeholders, we’re working to minimise the disruption while this essential road improvement project is carried out.
Conditions on the road are such that we can implement a convoy management system to help reduce the impact on drivers, while keeping our workers safe.
“Scotland TranServ, on behalf of Transport Scotland has been investing in this area to improve the road surface of the A77.
This £900k project is in addition to autumn resurfacing works north of Cairnryan and at Altimeg near Ballantrae. We’ll be working hard to complete this important resurfacing project ahead of the winter season.”
It will be necessary for abnormal load movements to make further provision and they should contact the project team accordingly.
