Works will begin on Old Castle Road with a two-week single lane closure and parking restrictions will be in place on Kilmailing Road for approximately two weeks from Wednesday, September 4. 

Taynish Drive will be closed for approximately two weeks from around September 20 and from October 3, temporary traffic lights and on-street parking restrictions will be in place at the junction of Carmunock Road and Elmore Avenue for around two weeks.

Once complete, these restrictions will move to the junction of Elmore Avenue and Old Castle Road/ Snuffmill Road on October 23 for around three weeks. 

Elmore Avenue will see various phases of temporary traffic lights and parking restrictions. These are anticipated to be in place on October 16 for around one week, November 13 for approximately one week, and January 15 for around three weeks.   

The final phase of the project is scheduled to begin on Carna Drive from November 25 for approximately six weeks. Temporary traffic lights and parking restrictions will be in place during this time.

A Scottish Water spokesperson said: “We are aware this essential project will cause some temporary disruption to local residents and road users; however, the new water mains will serve our customers for years to come.” 

“As with any project of this nature, we will do all we can to work with the local community to keep any disruption to a minimum. We’ll have a team on site who’ll be available to residents to answer any questions or concerns.” 

The work is being carried out by Scottish Water’s alliance partner, Caledonia Water Alliance.
