COMMUTERS in Cumnock and Doon Valley are being warned to expect delays throughout July and early August as Ayrshire Roads Alliance (ARA) repair the A713.

The "essential work" will see a section of the road closed every weekend in July and the first weekend in August.

Work will start on Monday, July 2 between Minnivey and Dalmellington – including the junctions with Gateside Road and the B741 to Straiton.

The road will remain open during the week with traffic management systems in place.
