What is closing?
The next phase of the project requires the junction of Main Street (east) with the A78 to be closed for a period of two weeks.
When will it close and reopen?
The closure will be in place from 2100hrs on 4th August to 18th August 2025. The works at this location have been programmed during the summer holidays to minimise disruption.
Why it is closing?
These works will involve the contractor installing traffic signal infrastructure, traffic islands and drainage across the junction. It will also involve narrow lanes being changed from eastbound to westbound on the A78.
Access to the A78
During the closure all access and egress onto the A78 will be via Main Street junction (west).
To facilitate this there will be some parking restrictions required along Main Street to improve the flow of traffic.
Access to public transport
During the closure the six bus stops along Main Street, Inverkip will be closed.
Two temporary bus stops will be installed on the A78 and will be in use from Tuesday 5th August 2025.
For east bound passengers, the temporary bus stop will be next to the Harbourside junction with access being via the footbridge over the A78.
The west bound temporary bus stop will be located at the west junction of Main Street on the A78.
In addition to regular bus services for Inverkip this will now include the 901 and 906 bus service for the duration of the closure.
