ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE ON THE A77 AT SMITHSTON RAIL BRIDGE COMMENCES MONDAY 20^th SEPTEMBER

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland as part of the Network Management Contract for the South-West Trunk Road Unit, are undertaking essential maintenance to improve roadside hazard protection on the A77 at Smithston Rail Bridge from Monday 20^th September until Saturday 17^th October 2021.

A southbound lane closure at this location will be in place 24/7 between Monday 20^th September and Sunday 3^rd October 2021, operating under temporary traffic signal control. From Sunday 3^rd October until Sunday 17^th October 2021 a night-time total closure will be required between the hours of 8pm and 6am, each night. Traffic will follow a signed diversion route with A77 southbound traffic diverted to exit via Doonholm Road, south of Ayr and will proceed on the A719. Traffic will be able to rejoin the A77 at Turnberry and diversion will end. A77 northbound traffic will follow the same diversion route but in reverse. Daytime traffic controls will remain in operation until the scheme’s completion. We thank road users for their patience while this essential maintenance is underway.

Our operatives will follow strict physical distancing and hygiene protocols throughout the programme, in line with the Scottish Government’s COVID-19 guidance.
