A78 Irvine Road Fairlie | Network Rail Works

Network Rail is reminding residents and motorists of a road closure scheduled to take place at the beginning of March on Irvine Road in Fairlie. 
 

As part of a commitment to providing a safe and reliable railway, engineers will be conducting a structural survey of the railway bridge (named 1005/013) from 22:00hrs on Tuesday 4th March until 06:00hrs on Wednesday 5th March. 
 

Coneworx on behalf of Amey will manage the closed section of road and will put out warning signs in advance of the closure and diversion signs out during it. Diversions will be in place on the A760 > B780 > A78 & Vice Versa. 
 

Darren Dickson, Project Manager for Network Rail, said: “The work we’re undertaking will provide vital information on the condition of this railway bridge is crucial for the long-term future reliability of the line. 
 

“Working on the railway at night offers the safest environment for our teams and causes the least disruption to our passengers and freight trains. However, we understand the inconvenience this work will cause some people. 
 

“We would like to thank those affected for their patience and understanding and offer assurances that every effort has been made to reduce the impact of our activities as much as possible.”
