DISRUPTIVE roadworks at the Whitletts Roundabout in Ayr are heading into their final weekend.

Amey is undertaking essential resurfacing on the A77 at the roundabout in Ayr until Wednesday, November 20.

The maintenance forms part of a package of resurfacing works on the A77 this autumn/winter, which will include Bankfield Roundabout and Holmston Roundabout.

Works this weekend will take place overnight from 8pm on Friday, November 15 until 6am on Sunday, November 17, and then from 10pm on that same day until 6am on Monday, November 18.

There will be a total closure of the southbound section of the roundabout with a contraflow in operation for the northbound.

Traffic from the B743 Heathfield Road roundabout arm will not be able to join the A77 southbound and will follow the northbound A77 to Sandyford Toll Roundabout and return south through the works.

The A719 roundabout arm will be closed. Traffic will turn right onto Low Road then right onto A719 and right onto Allison Street to follow Ayr Road, Main Street, the A79 and the A78 to rejoin the A77 at Dutchhouse Roundabout. Southbound traffic will return through the works.

The B743 East roundabout arm will be closed. Traffic for the B743 will follow the A77 north to Sandyford Toll Roundabout then follow the B742, A719, B730 and B743. Traffic wishing to join the A77 from the B743 East will follow the above diversion in reverse.

Traffic from the southbound A77 wishing to exit for Heathfield Road or the A719 will follow A77 southbound to Holmston Roundabout and return north to access the junctions.

From 8pm on Tuesday, November 19 until 6am on Wednesday, November 20, lane closures will be required on the A77 southbound approach to Whitletts Roundabout and northbound departure from the roundabout.
