\n Drivers experienced disruption and delay on Tuesday, January 20 as a result of planned works on the main road outside the hospital.\n<\/p>\n
\n This was caused by a temporary failure of one of the traffic lights on the Kilmarnock side.\n<\/p>\n
\n Contractors and Ayrshire Roads Alliance have now put additional measures in place to help improve traffic flow for the duration of the works.\n<\/p>\n
\n Traffic lights will be staffed from 7am to 8.15pm, supported by a dedicated spotter on the A71 to adjust signal timings when traffic begins to build.\n<\/p>\n
\n During the morning peak, priority will be given to traffic travelling from the Kilmarnock direction.\n<\/p>\n
\n In the evening peak, priority will be given to vehicles exiting University Hospital Crosshouse via both the main exit and the East Car Park traffic lights.\n<\/p>\n
\n The roadworks are expected to continue for approximately eight weeks.\n<\/p>\n
\n Jacqueline Nicol, site director for University Hospital Crosshouse, added: \u201cWe ask staff and patients to allow extra time for the journey and, where possible, consider car sharing or alternative modes of transport for the duration of the works.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drivers experienced disruption and delay on Tuesday, January 20 as a result of planned works on the main…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-382664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
