Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland as part of the Network Management Contract for the South-West Trunk Road Unit, are undertaking essential resurfacing on the A75 between Cairntop, the dual carriageway section at Barlae, and the layby approximately 500 metres west, from Monday 20th June until Wednesday 29th June 2022.
This scheme, with a value of £417,838, will benefit around 4,500 vehicles using this route each day, by improving the condition of the carriageway and reducing the need for more extensive maintenance in the future. The layby will also be fully resurfaced to better support stationary traffic with improved drainage.
The work will be carried out using a convoy system that will be in operation between 7am and 6pm on the single carriageway section, with additional temporary traffic signals in place to facilitate the cooling of material. The dual carriageway section will be constructed under a 24 hour contraflow. We thank road users for their patience while this essential maintenance is underway.
Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.
Our operatives will follow strict physical distancing and hygiene protocols throughout the programme, in line with the Scottish Government’s COVID-19 guidance.
Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
