This phase is due to start on Monday 12 July and will continue for up to two weeks.
All preparatory work will be undertaken during weekdays between 08.00 until 17.00 and convoy traffic management will be in place, with delays possible.
To lay the new surface course, it is anticipated that three overnight road closures will be required on Friday 16, Monday 19 and Tuesday 20 July from 20.00 until 06.00, when signed accordingly.
An alternative route will be signed via B741 to New Cumnock, A76 to A70 Dettingen Roundabout Cumnock, to A70 Coylton, to B742 to re-join the A713 and vice versa. There will be no access to or from the adjoining B730 Drongan Road during the overnight closures.
