Ayr's Whitletts Roundabout set for new £7,000 kerb upgrade

Work will take place to spruce up Ayr's biggest roundabout next month.

New kerbing will be laid at Whitletts at a cost of £7,000 with work taking place over five nights at the start of March.

Teams will be on site each night from 7pm to 7am between Monday, March 1 to Friday, March 5 to install the new infrastructure.

It is estimated the scheme will benefit around 7,300 vehicles and pedestrians who use the route each day by improving safety on the footway and for vehicles exiting the side road.

A spokesperson for road maintenance firm Amey said: "The work will be carried out using single lane closures at the location and vehicles will be able to continue on their original route.

"Temporary barriers will be erected to segregate pedestrians from the work site and pedestrians will be escorted by an operative past the site to complete their journey safely.

"Our operatives will follow strict physical distancing and hygiene protocols throughout the programme, in line with the Scottish Government’s COVID-19 guidance."
