Drivers are being warned to expect lengthy delays on the A737 east of Dalry as a result of works on the new bypass from Monday.

Four-way temporary traffic lights will be in operation at the junction of the A737, C99 and Auchengree Road, near Highfield.

These will be in place from 6am on Monday, October 23, until 11pm on Thursday, October 26.

Transport Scotland is warning motorists to plan ahead and to expect congestion.

The work is part of a £31.2m project which will see a stretch of the A737 change significantly with the new bypass and two new roundabouts.
