Ayrshire Roads Alliance will be resurfacing Hurlford Road and Holmquarry Road, Kilmarnock, starting on Saturday 12 October.

Starting at Hurlford Road, the roads will be closed in three phases to minimise disruption and allow as much access to traffic as possible.

Phase 1 will be between Queens Drive and the middle of the Kirkstyle junction (half of the junction will stay open to allow access).  Roads will be closed here for up to one week from 8am until 5pm daily. Residents will be managed in and out of Kirkstyle junction by temporary traffic lights from and to the direction of Campbell Street roundabout during working hours.

The Haining Avenue junction will be shut during working hours with residents advised to use an alternative route through the housing schemes.

Once Phase 1 is complete and that stretch is re-opened, Phase 2 will start from the middle of Kirkstyle junction to the middle of the Campbell Fuels junction. Both will still have one side open to allow access. The works are expected to take 3 or 4 days, which may include weekend working, from 8am -5pm  and will hopefully be finished by the end of the October school holiday week.

During this phase traffic will be managed in and out of Kirkstyle junction by temporary traffic lights during working hours in the direction of Queen’s Drive. The Campbell’s Fuel Garage junction will be managed by two way temporary traffic lights to and from the direction of Campbell Street roundabout.

Kinloch Road junction will be closed off during working hours with residents advised to use alternative routes through the scheme.

Once this is complete, Phase 3 will start.  This stretch runs from the middle of the Campbell Fuels junction, again with half the junction open for access,  to close to the Campbell Street roundabout.

It is expected that the road will be closed here for around 2 weeks from 8am-5pm. Again, traffic will be managed in and out of Campbell’s Fuels Garage by two way temporary traffic lights to and from the direction of Queen’s Drive. Both the New Street and Turnberry Drive junctions will be closed off during working hours. The one way section at the bottom of New Street will be suspended temporarily and it will revert back to two way traffic flow while the works are being carried out.

Once these three phases are complete, Holmquarry Road will be resurfaced in two phases to allow vehicles to continue to access the retail park.

All diversion routes will be signposted. Ayrshire Roads Alliance would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused during these works.

The Ayrshire Roads Alliance as part of its ongoing programme to improve the condition of the road network will be carrying out essential road resurfacing works on Prestwick Main Street between Alexandra Avenue and Gardiner Street.

To carry out these works safely and efficiently and to protect the roads operatives and the travelling public we will require to close and implement additional Traffic Management measures. To minimise inconvenience the works which begin on Tuesday 24th September until Monday 14th October will only be undertaken on Sunday nights through to Thursday nights between 20:00 and 06:00 hours.

Access for the emergency services and pedestrians will be maintained.

Vehicular access for residents will be maintained whenever possible, the existing one way traffic flows in Gardiner Street and Sauterne Road will be suspended.

A diversion route suitable for all through traffic will be signed via Shawfarm Road, Shaw Road, Berelands Road, Adamton Road North, St Quivox Road, East Road and Heathfield Road onto Ayr Road.

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.

The Ayrshire Roads Alliance apologises for any inconvenience caused during these essential works.

East Ayrshire’s £7m ambitious road and bridge improvement programme is now well underway.

The roads infrastructure is one of the Council’s most valuable assets and is vital to the area’s economic well-being, contributing significantly to the local economy and regeneration.

The Ayrshire Roads Alliance’s Roads Maintenance Unit Section has designed a road-resurfacing programme covering 65km of local roads, which will ensure that resurfacing work focuses on the roads most affected by defects, potholes and surface fragmentation.

Teams will be resurfacing substantial stretches of road; moving away from temporary repairs. Since the resurfacing programme began at the end of May, 11.6km of road has now been resurfaced in communities including Ochiltree, Skares, Lawersbridge and Galston.

On Monday 8 July, the team will move to Milrig Crescent in Galston where 220m of road will be resurfaced. On Monday 15 July, they will move to Carron Avenue and Annan Road, Kilmarnock where the full length of both roads will be resurfaced.

On Monday 29 July, the team will move to Auchinleck for a five-week period, where they will be resurfacing 330 metres of Ballochmyle Avenue, 370 metres of Glenshamrock Drive, 270 metres of Aird Avenue, 130 metres of Darnconner Avenue and 200 metres of Peden Drive.
In addition to this extensive resurfacing work, on Monday 29 July 1190 metres of the A713 Waterside to Patna will be resurfaced. On Monday 12 August, Newton Street in Catrine will be resurfaced followed by the full length of the B713 from Main Street, Sorn to B705 Catrine.

The Ayrshire Roads Alliance, on behalf of East Ayrshire Council, would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by these essential works.
