A75 Eastriggs Junction | Resurfacing
Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential resurfacing on the A75 at the Eastriggs Junction from Friday 31st January until Thursday 6th February 2025.
This work will require a full weekend closure at this location from 8pm on Friday 31st January until 6am on Monday 3rd February 2025, followed by overnight closures between 8pm and 6am each night between Monday 3rd February and Wednesday 5th February. Traffic management will be removed by 6am on Thursday 6th February.
Eastbound traffic will be diverted via the B6357 Stapleton Road south after Annan, then they will be directed to turn left onto the B721 and continue through Eastriggs to re-join the A75 west of Gretna.
Westbound traffic will follow the route in reverse.
Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.
The safety of our workforce, the site, and the travelling public is of utmost importance when planning road maintenance. A convoy system cannot be implemented during this scheme due to available road widths, which fall below the legal requirements to ensure the safety of road users and road workers. The absolute minimum width required for convoy working is 7.3 metres as per Chapter 8 Traffic Management Regulations. A closure of the A75 trunk road is also required due to the depth of treatment being carried out.
Amey do not tolerate any threats, abuse, or reckless behaviour that poses a risk to the workforce or the travelling public. Any evidence of such incidents recorded via roadside camera, body camera, or other device may be provided to the relevant authorities in such cases.
Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
This scheme will benefit vehicles using this route each day, by improving the condition of the carriageway and reducing the need for more extensive maintenance in the future.
