Motorists using the A702 at Coulter are set to benefit from a package of road surface improvement works.
The £45,000 project will see 225m of carriageway resurfaced, improving skid resistance and ride quality for road users.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and the travelling public during these works, the A702 will be closed at this location from 19:30 to 06:00 on the night of 29 March.
A diversion will be signposted as follows. Southbound traffic will be diverted via the A721 to Carnwath, the A70 towards Hyndford Bridge and the A73 to Maidencoates Roundabout at which point traffic will re-join the A702. Northbound traffic will be diverted along the same route in reverse. This diversion will add approximately 12 miles and 17 minutes to affected journeys.
Access to residential properties will be maintained throughout the works, with residents within the closure escorted through the site as necessary. A phone number for residents to call when they require an escort will be displayed on a notice board on site.
Emergency services will be able to pass through at all times.
Consultation has been carried out with relevant stakeholders to make them aware of the plans and share information about the project in advance.
Strict physical distancing protocols, in line with Scottish Government guidance, are in place to protect teams and ensure they remain safe on site.
