Overnight A75 closures ahead

THE A75 at Annan will be closed for a series of overnight closures starting next week. Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential bridge expansion joint replacements on the Stapleton Road overbridge from Thursday, October 23 until Saturday, November 8 between 8 pm and 6 am each night. Work will require overnight closures of the A75 carriageway in both directions. Northbound traffic will be diverted via the B721 and the A75 eastbound to continue northbound while southbound traffic will take this diversion in reverse. Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works. All schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable. Road users have been thanked for their patience and understanding while the work is being undertaken. A free alerts service is available online at swtrunkroads.scot/roadwork-alerts/
