As part of Transport Scotland’s strategic trunk road management programme, Scotland TranServ will shortly resurface the A77 southbound at Hansel Village.

In order to complete this £176k resurfacing programme as quickly and safely as possible, it will be necessary to implement a series of overnight closures of the southbound carriageway between Monday 29^th July and Saturday 3^rd August.

David Montgomery, Scotland TranServ’s Assistant Engineer said:

“Scotland TranServ has been working in consultation with the emergency services, the local authority and key stakeholders to carefully schedule these works for minimal impact on commuters and businesses using the road every day. Our inspections have identified that this 815m stretch of carriageway is in need of resurfacing, and completing works under a series of southbound only overnight closures is the safest and most efficient way to do this.

“Local diversions will be in place while this important resurfacing programme is completed. We would therefore ask drivers to allow plenty of additional time for their journeys while this short project is completed.”

To complete these works as quickly and safely as possible, it will be necessary to implement overnight closures of the A77 southbound in this area during the following times:

• 8pm on Monday 29^th July until 6am on Tuesday 30^th July
• 8pm on Tuesday 30^th July until 6am on Wednesday 31^st July
• 8pm on Wednesday 31^st July until 6am on Thursday 1^st August
• 8pm on Thursday 1^st August until 6am on Friday 2^nd August
• 8pm on Friday 2^nd August until 6am on Saturday 3^rd August

Northbound traffic will not be affected during these closures.
