The crossing will be developed for the junction of Ailsa Street West and Henrietta Street on the A77.

• 8pm Friday 02 – 6am Monday 05 February

• 8pm Friday 09 – 6am Monday 12 February

Vincent Tait, Scotland TranServ's Road Safety Manager said: "Following delays because of the wintry weather, we expect works to get underway this weekend (Fri 26th January). In order to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible it will be necessary to close the A77 Northbound at this immediate location over the next three weekends.

"A short diversion route will be in place from Shallochpark Roundabout. Southbound traffic will remain unaffected by the works."
