A stretch of the A75 is set to close this weekend to allow for £400,000 of resurfacing work.
Scotland TranServ continue positive strides in maintaining Dumfries and Galloway’s network with almost £400,000 worth of resurfacing works on the A75 at Breconrae to Rockhall Mains commencing Friday 19 June 2015.
The project adds to the £4m that has already been invested by Transport Scotland across Dumfries and Galloway’s trunk road network over the last 12 months.
Scotland Transerv will carry out the work over one weekend between Friday 19 June to Monday 22 June 2015.
To keep road users and roadworkers safe, a total closure between Mouswald Caravan Park and Collin will be in place throughout the works. The road will be closed from 7.00pm on Friday evening and reopen at 6.00am on Monday morning.
Gordon Wilson, contract director, Scotland TranServ said:
“Dumfries and Galloway is the gateway to Scotland and is the first stop for thousands of tourists heading to the south west region.
“We are doing everything we can to minimise disruption by carrying these works out over one weekend however we would advise motorists to plan ahead and leave plenty of time for their journeys.”
A local diversion will be in place throughout the works. Eastbound traffic will exit the A75 at the junction with the A709 and continue on A709 until it meets the B723 at Lockerbie. Continue on B723 until it meets the B721. Continue on the B721 until it meets the A75.
Westbound traffic will exit the A75 at the junction with the B7020 and continue on B7020 until it meets the A709 at Lochmaben. Continue on A709 until it meets the A75.
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.
