Major road works planned for Dumfries
Written by author on December 18, 2013
The Council will carry out major works at the Shakespeare Street/Nith Place/Irish Street/St Michael Street junction in Dumfries early in the new year.
Temporary traffic signals will be in place to control traffic in the area. Unfortunately, this is likely to cause some delays to the traffic public.
The work will start on Monday 6 January 2014 and will include traffic signal refurbishment, minor kerb realignments, road surfacing, and road markings.
The second phase of works, to prepare for resurfacing and markings, will start on Sunday 19 January 2014.
This second phase of the work is expected to last up to one week. Delays should be expected and drivers should, if possible, avoid the area or use alternative modes of transport.
During this stage, the road will be closed between Irish Street and Whitesands. The traffic flow on St Michael Street, between Shakespeare Street and Brooms Road, will be reversed and traffic diverted to St Michael’s Bridge Road and Dockhead. There will be no access from Irish Street to Nith Place and traffic will exit by Assembly Street.
