A77 Ballantrae | Essential Bridge Refurbishment Works

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential bridge refurbishments on the A77 in Ballantrae from Tuesday 26th May until Friday 18th December 2026 under continuous 24-hour temporary traffic lights. 

This is the second phase of the refurbishment works following the Phase 1 works carried out between September 2024 – March 2025.
 

There will also be a weight restriction imposed on the structure of up to 80 tonnes between 10th June – 2nd August. 
 

Full closures of the A77 between Shallochpark Roundabout and Innermessan will be required on the nights of Wednesday 15th July, Monday 27th July, Monday 3rd August, Monday 14th September, Wednesday 30th September and Friday 16th October 2026.
 

Southbound traffic will be diverted via the A714, Wigtown Road Junction, the A75 westbound and the A751 northbound, where they will be able to re-join the A77 southbound.
 

Northbound traffic will take the above diversion route in reverse.

Local access will be maintained during the full closures. 
 

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.
 

Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
 

This scheme will benefit vehicles using this route each day, by improving the safety and condition of the carriageway structure in this location.
 

Road users are thanked for their patience and understanding while this work is being undertaken.
