A BUSY Ardrossan road will be closed for more than two months as Scottish Power carry out upgrade works. 

Sorbie Road from Parkhouse Road through to the roundabout at Stanley Road will close on Monday, September 3 and will remain shut until November 11. 

The closure will cause major diversions for commuters, pupils at Ardrossan Academy and St Matthew's Academy and make access to Ardrossan Cemetery difficult although the council has said that locals will still be able to access the cemetery during the road closures. 

There will be no access down Sorbie Road from the roundabout at Stanley Road except for local access to houses and the same applies for the bottom of the road. 

Diversions will be in place throughout the works.
