PART of a busy Saltcoats road will be closed on Sunday as upgrade works are carried out.

A section of the High Road in the town will be shut from 8am to 4pm on Sunday for BT to carry-out upgrade works at the junction with Dalry Road, according to North Ayrshire Council's website.

The number 18 bus which serves this route will be diverted via Sannox Drive, Adams Avenue, Links Road, McGillvray Avenue, and High Road to rejoin the normal route at Jack's Road.

Works could take as long as three working days to complete, with the start date of Sunday, September 10 being used as a guideline.
