Project Details
Description
Resurfacing works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a section of the A75 carriageway (eastbound and westbound), south of Kirkdale in Dumfries and Galloway covering an area of 1.8ha. The works are required as the carriageway is currently displaying various structural defects, such as fretting, rutting, cracking and patching.
Construction activities and the associated plant and machinery required are as follows:
- Implementation of Traffic Management (TM) and marking out site (TM plant);
- Removal of existing surfacing and milling to agreed depths (planer, wagon, lorries);
- Resurfacing to the existing road levels using TS2010 aggregate, AC binder, AC base (paver, roller);
- Reinstatement of road markings, linings, and studs (lorries/wagons and plant); and,
- Removal of TM.
The proposed construction is programmed to be undertaken and completed within the 2025-2026 financial year during nighttime hours for approximately 10 nights.
TM plans are yet to be confirmed but will likely consist of 10 overnight closures with Temporary Traffic Lights (TTL) during daytime hours. The requirement for a diversion route is currently undetermined.
