The Council Roads team will take advantage of the lower traffic levels during the school summer holidays to carry out a programme of essential road resurfacing around East Dunbartonshire.
The works are part of the Council’s current in-house resurfacing programme of works. The selection of roads for resurfacing is determined by assessments and a scoring system which allows the Service to target funding.
The following roads are due to be resurfaced:
Main Street Milngavie 27/6/22- 08/07/22 (in phased sections)
Kirkintilloch Road Bishopbriggs 11-17 July
Duntocher Road Bearsden 18 -24 July
Main Street Twechar 25 -31July
Craigdhu Road Milngavie 1 -14 Aug
Variable messaging boards, where they can be accommodated, and static signs will be displayed at the sites a week in advance of the works to alert regular road users. Diversions are also published on the Council’s social media channels and website.
Paul Ferretti, Convener of the Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets committee, said, "This schedule of works represents a continued and sustained investment in our roads and is great news for East Dunbartonshire.
"Like all Councils, East Dunbartonshire is faced with the challenge of determining which roads to prioritise for repair but we use a robust system of assessments and scoring to help us target funding to the correct areas.
"These are essential works and we have programmed them for the school holidays when traffic is usually lighter. However, they may result in some delays and I would urge residents to be patient while the works are carried out.
"I am sure when the works are completed road users will appreciate the improvements and I thank them in advance for their patience.”
