Commuters braced for roadworks in Crossford

Essential work to maintain an important road in Crossford is to be carried out over several nights later this month.

A section of the A72 Lanark Road is to be resurfaced, with work starting on Monday, May 24.

As a result, the road will need to be closed between the junction of Overton Road and the junction of Blair Road between 7pm and 7am for up to five days.

During the periods of closure, no vehicles will be permitted to be driven or parked on that section of the road and signs will be in place to indicate an alternative route via the A72, A73, A721, A71 and A72, and vice versa.

Councillor John Anderson, chair of community and enterprise resources, said: “While we will make every effort to accommodate residents, some disruption will be inevitable, and we would be grateful for the co-operation of anyone affected during these essential works.

“I would ask everyone to take note of the times and dates the closure will be in place and plan their journeys accordingly, allowing additional time if necessary. I would also ask residents to ensure their vehicles are not parked on the road during the times of the closure and that they make alternative arrangements.

“We apologise for any inconvenience that may occur during these vital road improvement works.”
