Project Details
Description
The works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a section of the A737 north of Johnstone, Renfrewshire, covering an area of 1.3ha. Resurfacing works are required on the northbound (NB) carriageway due to surface defects and structural defects identified across the carriageway. These defects include fretting, rutting and some isolated cracks. The works are required to improve the safety and road quality for road users.
Construction activities will consist of structural inlays, ranging in depth from approximately 30mm-300mm. Treatment will involve using TS2010 surface course. Construction activities and relevant plant/machinery will include:
- Installation of Traffic Management (TM);
- Removal of the existing road surface to the required depths by planer;
- Compaction and flattening of the material by roller wagon;
- Laying of the new road surface by paver for structural inlays, with depths ranging between 30 to 300mm;
- Sealing of road joints to prevent water ingress;
- Transporting of the removed road material by disposal trucks;
- Installation of new road markings and new road studs; and
- Removal of TM upon scheme completion.
The works are scheduled to be completed within the 2025/2026 financial year with works expected to commence July 2025 and will take place over approximately seven nightshifts.
TM will likely consist of overnight lane closures with a diversion route put in place utilising the A737 eastbound (EB) off-slip, B789 Barrochan Road and the A761 where traffic will reconnect to the A737 by the Linwood westbound on-slip.
