Scotland TranServ is to start a £132,000 resurfacing project in North Ayrshire.

The company will begin repairing the A78 at Warrix from Monday, 31 July.

The project will start southbound and last for four weeks, before switching to the northbound lane for a further four-week duration.

The scheme involves stripping back the road surface to allow the project team to carry out repairs to the concrete infrastructure. In addition, a new environmentally friendly drainage system will remove excess water from the road structure, increasing the lifetime of the bridge. New barriers will also be installed as part of the programme.


Gordon Gibney, Scotland TranServ's Operations Delivery Manager said: "We rescheduled these works in order to avoid any potential overrun into the Scottish Open. Scotland TranServ has worked closely with the Local Authority and Police Scotland throughout to avoid any unnecessary disruption for golf fans using the route to attend either tournament. This project will deliver long-term benefits to commuters, businesses and tourists using the A78."
