Motorists are facing major disruptions as the A78 at Largs North closes for resurfacing.

This is part of a £1m 3km programme which will take place in three separate stages.

As a result of the narrow widths of the A78, the trunk road will be closed in order to complete the works, and diversion routes are significant.

Largs North trunk road will be closed from 8pm on April 6, until 6am on April 9.

Scotland TranServ's principal road design engineer, Alan Murray, said: "We've spoken directly to community councils and asked for their input and agreement in the scheduling and format of this extensive programme of work.

"Due to the limited available road width of the A78 it will be necessary to close the trunk road to ensure the safety of our workers and of the travelling public.

"This unfortunately will mean weekend diversions.

"We would therefore ask drivers to carefully plan their journeys."
