A main road near Auchinleck is set to be closed off for resurfacing work this weekend.

The Ayrshire Roads Alliance, which carries out road work on behalf of East Ayrshire Council, will carry out the work on the Barony Road.

A length of around 700 metres of road will be resurfaced, forcing closures in both directions.

The road is set to be closed from 8am-8pm on Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28.

A further closure is set to be in place from 8am-8pm next Saturday and Sunday (May 4 and 5).

An alternative route will be signed via:

  • B7036 Barony Road turning left on to C62 Pennylands Road
  • Turning left on to B7083 Mauchline Road
  • Take the first exit from Templeton Roundabout on to A76 to Dettingen Roundabout
  • Take the third exit on to A70 towards Ochiltree before re-joining the B7036 and vice versa.
