A section of the A70 in Ochiltree is set to be closed once again.

Anti-skid and white lining work is set to take place on a stretch of the road in the village's Burnock Street.

Around 400m of the street between Burnock Street and Mill Street will be shut off.

A closure is due to be in place between 8am and 5pm on Saturday, March 16 and Sunday, March 17.

The notice says that the days and times of the works may be dependent upon the weather conditions but the order will be implemented only when the appropriate signs are displayed.

A similar closure had been in place at the start of February, also to allow white lining and anti-skid work to take place.

A diversion will be in place via the A70 towards Cumnock, A76 to Auchinleck, C62 and then the B7036 towards Ochiltree, and vice versa.
