The extensive £5m essential carriageway resurfacing programme within East Ayrshire is well underway. 41kms of road have already been resurfaced at a cost of almost £3.5m and the programme will continue through October.
A number of essential resurfacing works are due to take place in the vicinity of schools and have been programmed to coincide with the school holidays to minimise disruption.
The works include:
A759 and B7064 Moorfield
The area from the Abattoir Roundabout to Moorfield Industrial Estate and A71 Moorfield roundabout will be closed to all traffic from Monday 17 October 2011 for a period of 7 days. Diversions will be via Dundonald Road, Irvine Road and Crosshouse.
Onthank
Meiklewood Road and Tourhill Road will have closures or Temporary Traffic Lights set up at various times and local diversions will be set up. Works will commence on Saturday 15 October 2011 for a period of 7 days.
Bellfield
Hurlford Road will have temporary traffic lights in operation. There will be restrictions on Haining Ave with minor diversions in place. Works will commence on Monday 17 October for four days.
A719 Glasgow Road, Galston
Surfacing works will take place of the carriageway from the A71 at the roundabout to Loudoun Academy gates. The carriageway will be closed and diversions will be signed. These works will commence on Thursday 20 October for four days.
The closures of the roads detailed above are being put in place to ensure the safety of the roads operatives and the travelling public. The closures, particularly those in and around Moorfield, will lead to disruption for the travelling public. The Council apologises in advance for the inconvenience these closures will cause, however the works are essential and will improve the quality of the road surface.
