The Boguillie will remain closed next week due to the roadworks not being completed on time.
The main A841 Lochranza road has been closed for two months to allow for carriageway improvements at the Witches Bridge However a roads official at North Ayrshire Council said: ‘Unfortunately we have been notified by our contractor that due to the current bad weather and restrictions with the space allowed for material lorries on the ferry, the A841 resurfacing works will now not be completed until next week.
‘I will therefore have to extend the existing road closure until 4.30pm on Thursday March 29. However the road will be completely opened for Easter.’
