Week Of A75 Overnight Closures At Mouswald Start On April 6th

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential resurfacing on the A75 at Mouswald from Sunday 6^th April until Saturday 12^th April 2025 between the hours of 8pm and 6am each night.

This work will involve overnight closures of the carriageway at Mouswald, as well as daytime Temporary Traffic Lights between 6am and 8pm on Tuesday 8^th April and Wednesday 9^th April.

Signed diversions will be in operation as follows:

• Eastbound traffic will leave the A75 at Lockerbie Road Roundabout, take the A709 to Lockerbie, then south on the B723 to Annan and return north on the B721 to re-join the A75.
• Westbound traffic will take the diversion route in reverse.
• HGVs using the M6 and A74(M) will be diverted via the A74(M) at Junction 17 to avoid Hoddom Bridge.

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.
