Essential resurfacing works along the A713 Ayr to Dalmellington road are now underway.
Drivers are advised to plan ahead as overnight road closures will be required at certain times during the project.
Throughout the programme, works will icnlude removing sections of the existing road surface, deep patching, laying a base course, adjusting ironware, laying a new surface course and renewing the associated road markings and studs.
Phase two of the works started yesterday on the A713 immediately north of Polnessan.
It's expected the project will last two weeks.
All preparatory work will be undertaken during weekdays between 8am until 5pm and convoy traffic management will be in place with motorists warned to expect delays.
To lay the new surface course, it is anticipated that four overnight road closures will be required on Monday, July 19, Tuesday, July 20, Wednesday, July 21 and Thursday, July 22from 8pm until 6am when signed accordingly.
An alternative route will be signed via the B741 to New Cumnock, A76 to A70 Dettingen roundabout Cumnock, to A70 Coylton, to B742 to rejoin the A713 and vice versa.
There will be no access to or from the adjoining B730 Drongan Road during the overnight closures.
Electronic variable message signs will be placed on the A713 to inform the travelling public of each overnight closure.
Meanwhile, emergency access will be maintained at all times throughout the duration of the works.
It is hoped that the resurfacing work will be completed within the timescales stipulated, however, the work is weather dependent and any unforeseen difficulties could result in a delay.
Any updates to the work will be published on the Ayrshire Roads Alliance website.
