A77 road junction reopens after flooding in Ayrshire

Traffic was diverted off the A77 to avoid the Meiklewood Interchange near Kilmarnock

One of Scotland's busiest roads has reopened to traffic after major flooding closed a junction in Ayrshire.

Strathclyde Police had been diverting traffic off the A77 Glasgow to Ayr road to avoid the Meiklewood Interchange near Kilmarnock.

The northbound carriageway is now fully re-open to traffic and one lane is open on the southbound carriageway.

Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Service was called to the scene with three appliances and a boat.

Met Office weather warnings had been in place for large parts of southern Scotland over Thursday evening, but have now cleared.
