WORKS are set to take place on a busy stretch of the A77 near Ayr later this month.

Amey is undertaking essential road safety junction improvements on the A77 at Doonholm Road and C39 Corton Road.

The works will start on Monday, November 25 and are expected to complete in March 2025.

The work will take place on a continuous 24-hour basis and will require phased lane closures with two-way temporary traffic signals in place on the A77.

The work will also require the closures of the Doonholm Road and C39 Corton Road junctions with the A77.

Doonholm Road traffic will be diverted via Bankfield Roundabout, the A713, Belmont Road, Ewenfield Road and the B7024.

C39 Corton Road traffic will be diverted via Bankfield Roundabout and the A713.

The works will pause for the Christmas period on Friday, December 20 and will resume in the new year.

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.
