A77 Littlehill to Burnside Farm

Over £340k of essential road maintenance is to be carried out on the A77 over two weekends commencing on 13 May 2016.

Scotland TranServ, operating on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out the resurfacing works to repair defects to the existing road surface and replace white line markings between Littlehill Bridge and Burnside Farm on the Girvan to Turnberry section of the A77.

To carry out these works safely there will be a full closure of the A77 from 8.00pm on Friday 13 May until 6.00am on Monday 16 May. The route will again be fully closed from 8.00pm on Friday 20 May until 6.00am on Monday 23 May. A diversion will be in place throughout the works.

Andy Fraser, operating company representative, Scotland TranServ said:

“This maintenance scheme will ensure that the A77 remains in good condition for local residents and over 7,800 road users who use this route each day.

“To ensure minimal disruption, the work has been programmed to be carried out over the shortest period of time possible however would urge road users to leave plenty of time for diversion routes, particularly those heading for the ferry ports.”

Road users can obtain live journey planning information by visiting Traffic Scotland’s website (www.trafficscotland.org) or Twitter feed (@trafficscotland).

Advanced warning signs will also be in place on the approach to the works to inform road users that these roadworks are taking place.
