A ROAD closure is taking place on Cumbrae later this month to allow for BT works.

The closure covers the B899 between the Junction of B896 and Ferry Road Cottage from 9.30am to 3.30pm on Friday, November 8.

The diversion is listed as follows: B896 - Marine Parade - Ferry Road - B899 - and vice versa.

A North Ayrshire Council spokesperson said: "Due to the nature of these works and existing road widths, legislation requires that in the interest of safety to both the road users and the work force, a restriction of use must be put in place for the duration of the works."

More details about the road closure can be found on the Cumbrae Community Council website.
