A project to resurface the A713 south of Dalmellington in East Ayrshire is to be completed this weekend, the Council has confirmed.

From 5am on Saturday 189 July until midnight on Sunday 20 July, the A713 south of Dalmellington – between the U759 Loch Doon Road and the East Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway boundary – will be closed to allow the remaining works to be carried out. A signed diversion route will be in place for motorists via the A713, A702, A76, B741 and vice versa.

Following this, from Monday 21 July, a series of essential road resurfacing works will commence on the A70 from the Lugar Water Bridge to the C23 Peesweep Brae. The works will last for a week and will involve the removal of the existing surface and the resurfacing of a new road and the necessary road markings. Preparatory works will be carried out between Monday 21 July and Friday 25 July and again temporary traffic signals will be in place. The road will then close on Saturday and Sunday (26-27 July) for final resurfacing works – a signed diversion route will be in place via C23 Peesweep Brae/Rigg Road, B7083 Auchinleck Road before rejoining the A70 at Cumnock and vice versa.
