The affected area is from and including the junction of the U731 Greenock Water Road to the boundary with South Lanark. A Signed Diversion Route will be in place via B743 to Strathaven, A71 to A719 Galston onto B7037 to B743 continuing through Sorn to A70 Muirkirk, before re-joining the B743 Muirkirk to Strathaven Road and vice versa.
