Major Ayrshire roundabout to close for a full weekend as upgrade takes place

One of Ayrshire's major roundabouts is to close for a full weekend.

Resurfacing works will take place at the Dutch House roundabout, just north of Prestwick.

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out the works between Friday, February 12 at 8pm and Monday, February 15 at 6am.

The full roundabout will be closed for that time.

Significant diversions will be in place both north and southbound to keep traffic flowing.

A spokesperson for Amey said: "Due to the depth of treatment necessary to providing a long last solution to the defects in the area, it is necessary to implement a full weekend closure of Dutch House roundabout to ensure safe completion of the works.

"A review of the roundabout markings will also take place to replace with a safer solution than existing."

Diversions are as follows:

Friday, February 12 at 8pm to Monday, February 15 at 6am – Full Weekend Closure of the A77 Dutch House roundabout.

A77 Southbound traffic diverted from Bellfield – A76 SB – A719 SB – Sandyford Rbt.

Monkton services / Monkton only accessible from Monktonhead roundabout.

The spokesperson added: "There will be no provision for abnormal loads through the works area; however, it should be noted that emergency services shall not be affected by these works."
