Scotland TranServ is to begin carrying out ground investigation and minor repair works on the A77 at Carlock.
As part of Transport Scotland's strategic trunk road management programme, work will take place on both the upslope rock face and downslope embankment, four miles south of Ballantrae.
Charles Macklin, Scotland TranServ's Principal Engineer, explained: "These investigations are being carried out to inform future schemes being developed to maintain and stabilise the ground adjacent to the A77 trunk road in this area. This continues from works carried out in the vicinity to replace the failing upslope with rock fill to ensuring the stability of the ground in the immediate area.
"Scotland TranServ has worked in consultation with local authorities and key stakeholders to schedule this programme of work for a period of minimal disruption. We will continue to keep local communities and drivers informed on our progress."
Work is scheduled to get underway on Monday, 19 March and continue for two months. For safety reasons, a single lane closure will be implemented using temporary traffic lights.
