Scheme Outline

The aim of this scheme is to improve safety along a 7.3 km stretch of the A77 between Kilmarnock and Prestwick by closing thirteen openings in the central reservation and converting the two existing at-grade junctions at Symington South and Bogend Toll (B730 junction) to grade-separated junctions. Many of the remaining junctions and accesses onto the A77 along this section will be closed. The existing alignment of the A77 will be retained.
