As part of South Ayrshire Council's 2019/20 road improvement plan, the Sandgate in Ayr is set for resurfacing road works, estimated to cost around £68K.
The busy Sandgate, which is one of the main routes into Ayr Town Centre, is set to be closed through the night for ten days on Sunday 9th June 2019.
The Sandgate Route will re-open daily during the works, from 6am to 8pm, which is when works will start again.
Ayrshire Roads Alliance, who have appointed a contractor to carry out the works said the work will be carried out through out the night from 8pm to 6am to reduce the impact on local businesses.
A spokesperson for Ayrshire Roads Alliance said:
“The Ayrshire Roads Alliance, on behalf of South Ayrshire Council, will be appointing a contractor to carry out this work starting on Sunday 9 June for 5 days.
“Due to the sensitive nature of the route and to reduce the impact on local businesses the works will be carried out under closure, from the junction with South Harbour Street to Fort Street, between 20:00 and 06:00 daily.
“In consultation with local elected members, a temporary two way order for Newmarket Street will be in place to allow residents to park overnight.”
Ayrshire Roads Alliance will temporarily close and prohibit waiting and loading New Bridge Street and Sandgate, Ayr to allow us to carry out resurfacing works.
Works which are weather dependent are scheduled to commence on Sunday 09th June 2019 and are anticipated to last approximately 5 Days.
