This scheme, with a value of £600,000, will resurface approximately 2.7 kilometres of the A77, on the northbound carriageway on the stretch between Whitletts Roundabout and Sandyford Toll Roundabout.

When overnight closures are in place, A77 northbound traffic will be diverted to exit the A77 at Whitletts Roundabout to join the B743 westbound at Heathfield Road.

At the A79 Junction, traffic will follow the A79 through Prestwick Road, Ayr Road, Main Street and Monkton Road to Shawfarm Roundabout.

From here, traffic will take the first exit to continue on the A79 in a northern direction.

At Monktonhead Roundabout, traffic will take the second exit to join the A78 and at Dutchhouse Roundabout, traffic will be able to re-join the A77 northbound, where diversion will end. Southbound traffic will not be diverted.

For the weekend contraflow and overnight closure aspects, a Residents Pass is available for those living or working within the extents of the closure.

Be aware that you may be asked to produce proof of residence, e.g. a driver’s license.

This is Phase One of maintenance at this location with Phase Two scheduled to take place in December 2021, which will resurface the southbound carriageway. Dates will be announced in due course.
