A75 Overnight Closures at Springholm Set for Next Week.

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential resurfacing on the A75, from Springholm to Haugh of Urr, from Monday 24^th February until Wednesday 5^th March 2025 as follows:

There will be overnight closures of the A75 between 8pm and 6am each night between Monday 24^th February and Thursday 27^th February 2025, before a full weekend closure of the A75 between 8pm on Friday 28^th February and 6am on Monday 3^rd March. There will be two further overnight closures on Monday 3^rd March and Tuesday 4^th March with traffic management removed by 6am on Wednesday 5^th March.

This work will require full closures at this location and traffic will be diverted as follows: Eastbound traffic will leave the A75 at the B794, following through Haugh of Urr before turning left onto the A711 at Dalbeattie and following to Cargenbridge, taking the first exit at the roundabout onto Garroch Loaning and re-joining the A75 at Garroch Roundabout. Westbound traffic will take the route in reverse.

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.

The safety of our workforce, the site, and the travelling public is of utmost importance when planning road maintenance. A convoy system cannot be implemented during this scheme due to available road widths, which fall below the legal requirements to ensure the safety of road users and road workers. The absolute minimum width required for convoy working is 7.3 metres as per Chapter 8 Traffic Management Regulations.

Amey do not tolerate any threats, abuse, or reckless behaviour that poses a risk to the workforce or the travelling public. Any evidence of such incidents recorded via roadside camera, body camera, or other device may be provided to the relevant authorities in such cases.

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 condition of the carriageway and reducing the need for more extensive maintenance in the future.
