A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "The works planned for this weekend will enable to contractor to complete the surfacing of the new roundabout.

"The contractor has been working closely with Police Scotland and the local authorities to ensure anyone who needs to use this section of the B979 Netherley Road over this weekend and during the following overnight closures has an alternative available to them, while enhancing the safety of road users and road workers.

"Road users who would normally use this route at night should plan their journeys in advance, and consider giving themselves additional travelling time, so that they can reach their destination safely and on time."
