A final weekend road closure is set to be in place along part of the A70 near Ochiltree this weekend.

Work has been taking place on the Burnock Bridge in Ochiltree since September, with four weekend closures in place as part of the work.

A final closure of the bridge is set to take place on Saturday, October 7 and Sunday, October 8, between the hours of 8am and 5pm each day.

Resurfacing work will also be carried out during these planned closures.

Eastbound traffic will be diverted via the B7036 Barony Road, the C62 and the A76 from the Templeton roundabout to the Dettingen roundabout, with westbound vehicles following the same diversion in reverse.

Ayrshire Roads Alliance says that emergency services access will be via the same diversion route, and that access for residents, deliveries and pedestrians outwith the working zone will be maintained. 

The work will be the second set of closures along the A70 this weekend, with a section near Lugar also being closed off.

A 25-mile diversion will be in place for these works, as part of separate three weekend closures along the road.
