Road safety works on the A77 in Girvan get underway for a seven week period starting from today.
Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, are undertaking safety improvements measures on the A77 in Girvan between Bridgemill Roundabout and ASDA in a bid to reduce speed and collisions on this stretch.
Preparatory works will take place from today (Wednesday, March 1) until Monday, March 6, between the hours of 8am and 5pm, each weekday.
The main body of work will commence on Monday, March 6 for seven weeks, between the hours of 8am and 5pm, each weekday.
The £150,000 scheme will see a reduction in the width of the carriageway, widening footways, and improving existing pedestrian crossings.
Additionally, the existing bus stop located on the A77 northbound carriageway, opposite the train station, will be relocated approximately 30m to the north in order to improve bus access.
Traffic management will be in place on a continuous 24/7 basis to ensure the safety of Amey’s workforce and the work site.
Temporary traffic lights will be in operation throughout the duration of the works, with affected bus stops temporarily closed and relocated.
Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout.
Amey say the scheme will benefit around 5,500 vehicles using this route each day.
Road users are thanked in advance for their patience and co-operation while these essential works take place.
