A Mauchline bridge is set to close for more than a month for urgent repairs. 

The closure of the U744 Oxenshaw Bridge will allow for repairs to damaged parapets across the structure. 

Works are set to commence next Tuesday, July 30 at 8am, with the closure remaining in place until 3pm on September 2.

The days and times of the works may be dependent upon the weather conditions but the order will be implemented only when the appropriate signs are displayed.

Access for emergency services, residents, deliveries and pedestrians outwith the working zone will be maintained via a diversion route.   

An alternative route will be signed via B743, B7037, U734, U744 and vice versa.
