Drivers on a busy Kilmarnock road are facing extended roadworks for a third time.
Three phases of a scheme on the town's Queen's Drive were set to end on April 29. But a delay in the schedule meant that the expected end date was changed to June 10; the third part of the works didn't even begin until June 13.
Now due to issues with concrete underneath the road on Victoria Bridge, the road closure has been extended until Friday, June 24.
And it's causing havoc in the centre of Kilmarnock as the route is one of the busiest in the town.
An Ayrshire Roads Alliance spokesperson said: "During phase three, the A735 Welbeck Street/Queen’s Drive will be closed from the junction with New Mill Road/Lawson Street to the junction with Victoria East Road.
"The works included within phase three began on Monday, June 13.
"Whilst carrying out bridge deck planning works, we discovered issues with the concrete underneath. To allow us to safely carry out concrete repairs we now anticipate that the works on Victoria Bridge will be completed on Friday, June 24."
