Crookfur Road will be closed between Stewarton Road and Greenfarm Road from Sunday as the worn-out surface is relaid.

The work on the Newton Mearns road will take until the end of the month.

The road carries heavy through traffic to and from the M77. Traffic will be diverted via Stewarton, Barrhead, and Ayr Roads.

East Renfrewshire Council’s roads boss Joe Devine said: “There is no alternative but to close this section of Crookfur Road and I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

"Everyone affected by the closure and using the diversions should give themselves extra time and take extra care.”
