A BUSY commuter road which connects large parts of North Ayrshire to Glasgow will be subject to closures next week.

The A737 in Beith will be partially shut overnight from Monday, November 11 until Saturday, November 16.

The road will be closed from 8pm-6am each night, between its junctions with Wardrop Street and Geilsland Road. 

A signed diversion - taking drivers to the B7049 through Beith - will be in place during the works, with all traffic management to be removed by 6am on Sunday, November 17.
