MOTORISTS have been warned ahead of planned closures on a key Ayrshire route.

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, are set to undertake "essential investigations" on the A78 at the Warrix Interchange with work to get underway on Sunday, July 19.

This will see two overnight closures on the A71 road adjacent to the roundabout.

The westbound section will be closed at the interchange from 8pm on Sunday until 6am the following morning.

During this time, traffic will be diverted via the westbound A71, Greenwood Interchange, Long Drive, B7081 Annick Road and Milgarholm Roundabout.

Whilst the eastbound carriageway will be shut from 8pm on Monday, July 20, until 6am the next day.

The same diversion, which should be followed in the opposite direction, will be in place at this stage.

Single lane closures will also be in place on the A71 throughout the duration of works.

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained whilst the project is carried out.
