A76 to be closed in Dumfriesshire for essential repairs

Essential £310,000 overnight maintenance works on the A76 Mennock Bridge will get under way on Monday.

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out the carriageway repairs between the bridge and Ryehill Farm from between 7pm and 6am each day until Wednesday, September 29.

It means overnight closures while the work is taking place, with a signed diversion for motorists.

Temporary traffic lights will be in operation during the day at localised areas “to allow the road to cool and to ensure the safety of road users”.

Traffic heading northbound will be diverted off the A76 onto the A702 at the T-junction at Carronbridge.

Vehicles will then follow the A702 north to the Abington Interchange and continue onto the B7078 to the A70 Ayr road, where it will continue in a south-west direction to Cumnock where traffic will re-join the A76.

Southbound traffic will follow the same diversion route in the opposite direction.
