Inverkip Main Street junction closure
ONE of two main entrances to Inverkip village will be closed for two weeks for road improvement works.
The east (Kip Park) junction will be closed from Monday 4 August to Monday 18 August 2025 as part of the A78 City Deal project.
These upgrades have been programmed during the summer holidays when the area is traditionally quieter to minimise disruption.
Works will involve installing traffic signal infrastructure, traffic islands and drainage across the junction.
During the closure, the six bus stops along Main Street will be closed, however, two temporary bus stops will be installed on the A78.
In addition to regular bus services for Inverkip, the 901 and 906 bus services will now be included for the duration of the closure.
For eastbound passengers, the temporary bus stop will be adjacent to the Harbourside junction with access being via the footbridge over the A78.
The westbound temporary bus stop will be located at the west junction of Main Street on the A78.
Temporary bus stops will be in use from Tuesday 5 August 2025.
The rearrangement of traffic management will start at 9pm on Monday 4 August 2025.
This will involve narrow lanes being changed from eastbound to westbound on the A78.
During the closure, all access to and from the A78 will be via the Main Street west junction.
There will also be some parking restrictions along Main Street to improve the flow of traffic.
