A77 Smyrton | Resurfacing

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential resurfacing on the A77 between Kilantringan and Smyrton from Wednesday 4th March until Friday 27th March 2026. This work will take place overnight between the hours of 7pm and 6am and will be delivered in two phases.

Phase One: A convoy will be in place overnight (7pm – 6am) at this location on Wednesday 4th March and Thursday 5th March 2026. Traffic management will be removed by 6am on Friday 6th March 2026.

Phase Two: Total overnight closures (7pm – 6am) will be required at this location from Monday 9th March until Friday 27th March 2026 with a signed diversion route in operation. Closures will be implemented each night during this period except for weekends, where the road will remain open as normal. All traffic management will be removed by 6am on Friday 27th March 2026.

Diversions for through trunk road traffic will operate as follows –

Southbound traffic will exit the A77 at Shallochpark Roundabout onto the A714 and follow to North Barnkirk, turning right onto the unclassified road to South Barnkirk and then turning right onto the A75 and continuing westbound towards Stranraer before taking the A751 to Innermessan and rejoining the A77 northbound towards Ballantrae.

Northbound traffic will take the A77 southbound and turn left onto the A751 then left onto the A75 eastbound towards Newton Stewart, turning left onto the unclassified road at South Barnkirk then left onto the A714 at North Barnkirk and following to the A77 Shallochpark Roundabout.

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 in this location.

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