Road users are set to benefit from an additional £319k of resurfacing works on the Dumfries Bypass at the A75 Lockerbie Road Roundabout to the Driving Range which will improve the road surface for those using the route.
The works will see Scotland TranServ, on behalf of Transport Scotland carry out the resurfacing work from Friday 24 to Wednesday 29 April 2015.

The remainder of the works will be carried out overnight from Monday to Wednesday from 2000hrs to 0600hrs. Every effort is being made to help keep disruption to a minimum during that time and diversions will be in place.

“This essential maintenance scheme is vital to ensuring we prolong the lifespan of the road surface benefiting road users using the A75.
“We are doing everything we can do minimise disruption by carrying these works out over the weekend and at night however we would advise motorists to plan ahead and leave plenty of time for their journeys.”
