Council is pleased to share that repair works on the Ardrossan Jetty are progressing well, with works expected to be completed by the end of July.
The jetty is anticipated to reopen to the public in August.
McMahon Services will begin site mobilisation at Edithburgh during the week commencing 13 July, with the Edithburgh Jetty to close to the public from Friday 24 July until mid-2027 while repair works are undertaken.
