Essential repairs are to be made to the A72 Lanark Road at Crossford.
The work will take place from 8am on Monday 14 October, with the road closed for up to five days between its junction with Holmwood Park and its junction with Blair Road.
General traffic will be unable to travel through the closure during the works, although roads staff will try to maintain access for residents and businesses located within the closure extents wherever possible.
There may be instances where local access and egress will be significantly delayed depending on the status and progress of works on site. Traffic Marshals and site staff will be there to advise and assist where access is required during the working day.
A diversion will be in place via: A72, A71, A721, A73, A72 and vice- versa.
Head of Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services, Colin Park, said: “We apologise for any inconvenience that may occur during these essential road improvement works.
“We hope that road users will appreciate the improvements to the road surface when the works are completed.
“We would request that all road users allow additional time for all journeys which involve the use of A72 Lanark Road, Crossford during the period indicated and that they plan their journey accordingly.”
