Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential bridge expansion joint replacements on the A736 Manson Road overbridge at the A78 Bank Street, from Monday 17th August until Friday 21st August 2026 between the hours of 8pm and 6am each night.


This work will require overnight closures in this location and traffic will be diverted as follows:

  • Northbound traffic will be diverted via Manson Road, Bank Street, East Road, Townhead, Annick Road and Long Drive.
     
  • Southbound traffic will use the above diversion in reverse.


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.
