Road users are warned to plan their journeys with plenty of extra time as resurfacing and roadmarking works on the A75 at Skyreburn which is located between Castle Douglas and Newton Stewart are expected to cause delays at the end of May and start of June.
Scotland TranServ will carry out the £300,000 works, on behalf of Transport Scotland, from Tuesday 31 May to Friday 10 June 2016 excluding weekends.
Over 1km of road will be resurfaced, and to ensure the safety of road users and roadworkers alike during these works, a convoy system will be in operation from 7.00am to 7.00pm each week day.
Andy Fraser, operating company representative, Scotland TranServ said:
“This essential maintenance scheme is vital to ensuring we prolong the lifespan of the road surface benefiting over 3000 road users using this section of the A75 each day.
“We have done everything we can to plan these works in order to minimise disruption to local residents and the travelling public, however we would advise road users to plan ahead and leave plenty of time for their journeys.”
Motorists can keep up to date with real time traffic information by visiting www.trafficscotland.org or following @Traffic Scotland on Twitter. Advanced warning signs will also be in place on the approach to inform motorists that roadworks are taking place.
