The carriageway resurfacing works will take place from Monday 27 January at 8am, on the A706 Wilsontown between its junction with B7016 and its junction with Leven Seat access.

The road will be closed for up to five days to allow the works to be completed, weather and resources permitting.

General traffic will be unable to travel through the closure during the works, although access will be maintained for residents and businesses as much as possible.

There may be instances where local access and egress will be significantly delayed depending on the status and progress of works on site. Traffic Marshals and site staff will be there to advise and assist where access is required during the working day.

A diversion will be in place via: A706, A71, A73, A721, A706 and vice- versa.

Head of Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services, Colin Park, said: “We apologise in advance for any inconvenience these essential works may cause to road users.

“It would be helpful if road users could avoid the area if possible, and if not, to leave extra time for their journey and take into account the diversion route.

“We hope all road users will appreciate the improvements when the works are complete.”
