Project Details
Description
Resurfacing works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a section of the A77 carriageway (southbound and northbound), northeast of Monkton in South Ayrshire. The works are required as the carriageway is currently displaying various structural defects, such as fretting, rutting, cracking and patching.
The scheme area is approximately 1.2 hectares.
Construction activities and the associated plant and machinery required are as follows:
- Implementation of Traffic Management (TM) and marking out site (TM plant);
- Removal of existing surfacing and milling to agreed depths (planer, wagon, lorries);
- Resurfacing to the existing road levels using TS2010 aggregate, AC binder, AC base (paver, roller);
- Reinstatement of road markings, linings, and studs (lorries/wagons and plant); and,
- Removal of TM.
The proposed construction is programmed to be undertaken and completed within the 2025-2026 financial year for approximately nine working shifts. The works will be undertaken during night-time and day-time working hours.
TM will likely consist of nine full night closure with lane closures during daytime hours. A diversion route will be put in place for both the SB and NB closures utilising the B743, A79, A78 then rejoining the A77 at the Dutch House roundabout.
