Project Details

Description

Resurfacing works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a 1,562m stretch of the A737 carriageway (southbound (SB)) located northwest of Paisley, Renfrewshire. The carriageway is presenting signs of continual deterioration.

Construction activities will entail the resurfacing of the A737 carriageway between the St James Interchange and the Linclive Interchange with the activities as follows:

• Installation of Traffic Management (TM);
• Milling of carriageway to agreed depths;
• Resurfacing of the carriageway to existing road levels using TS2010 surface source, AC binder and AC bituminous base;
• Reinstatement of road markings, linings and studs; and
• Removal of TM.

The following (but not limited to) plant/machinery/vehicles may be used throughout the scheme:

• Planer;
• Wagon(s);
• Bitumen tank;
• Extrusion liner;
• Paint tanker;
• Paver; and
• Roller(s).

The works are scheduled to be completed within this financial year (April 2025 to March 2026) for a duration of seven to ten nights, with works being undertaken during night-time hours.

TM for the scheme is likely to entail daytime SB lane closures with the potential for night-time A737 carriageway closures. Any required carriageway closures will entail diversions through the Ferguslie Park area of Paisley, re-joining the A737 carriageway via the A761.
