A busy North Ayrshire ‘A’ road is to close this weekend for essential maintenance.
The A738 Stevenston Road to Pennyburn route will close from 8pm on Friday, October 30, until 6am on Monday, November 2.
Amey who are carrying out the £175,000 works say they will benefit road users by continuing to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the road and reducing the need for future maintenance.
A signed diversion route will be in operation during the weekend closure.
Westbound traffic will be directed east along the A738 (Stevenston Road, Townhead and Byres Road) to the A737 south (Howgate, Lauchlan Way, Bridgend and Irvine Road) to Eglinton Interchange and the A78 westbound to Pennyburn Roundabout where this diversion will end.
Eastbound traffic will follow the same diversion in the opposite direction.
A local diversion route will also be in place via Pennyburn Road to provide access to and from Whitehirst Park.
This scheme has been planned in consultation with Transport Scotland, Traffic Scotland, the emergency services, Kilwinning Community Fire Station, Kilwinning Ambulance Station, Strathclyde Passenger Transport and North Ayrshire Council.
