Resurfacing Works To Begin On A78 Carriageway

Resurfacing works are to begin on the A78 carriageway near Kilwinning in North Ayrshire.

Scotland TranServ will begin repairing 1km of northbound carriageway from the A78/A737 Overbridge to Rail Bridge from Monday, 05 March.

The scheme will be carried out over a four-night period from 8pm to 6am. For safety reasons, the Eglinton Interchange Roundabout On slip to the A78 Rail Bridge will be closed during these times. Diversions will be in place.


Alan Murray, Scotland TranServ's Principal Design Engineer said: "In order to keep disruption to an absolute minimum for commuters and freight traffic, work has been programmed for overnights. This important project has been scheduled in consultation with Police Scotland, the local authority and key stakeholders.

"This important resurfacing work will deliver long-term improvements to this stretch of our network. Over the next few months we will be outlining a series of road surface improvements for the A78 and other trunk roads across Ayrshire. Scotland TranServ will continue to keep the community informed as this programme is rolled out."
