A major commuter road linking Glasgow to Renfrewshire and Ayrshire will be closed for one week to allow carriageway works to take place.

On behalf of Transport Scotland, Amey will undertake essential resurfacing works on the A737's westbound carriageway on its approach to Barrochan Road, west of Linwood, from Monday, February 3 until Monday, February 10, between 8pm and 6am each night.

The work will be carried out using overnight closures of the road in this location.

A signed diversion will be in place for drivers.

The diversion will be as follows: 

  • A737 westbound traffic will be directed to exit the A737 at Linclive Interchange, take the fourth exit at the roundabout onto the A761 Bridge of Weir Road and continue to Deafhillock Roundabout. Traffic will then take the first exit onto Barrochan Road to rejoin the A737 westbound at Johnstone or continue onto the High Street. Traffic for the westbound A737 from Linwood will follow the above diversion. 

In addition, the B789 to Johnstone will also be closed at Barrochan Road between 10pm and 6am on Wednesday, February 5 and Thursday, February 6.
