The group will sit down with Fiona Hyslop MSP at Girvan Library to discuss the issues associated with the long-plagued stretch.
The A77 is a crucial link to and from Northern Ireland and contributes to both the Scottish and Northern Ireland economies.
A group spokesman said: “As the A77 Campaign Team, what we want to get out of the meeting is for Ms Hyslop to tell us how road maintenance/improvements can improve from the point of what maintenance budget does the Scottish Government give for the maintenance and improvements on the A77, when it is evident from delays in completion times that it is not anywhere near enough.
“These are evidenced in there does not appear to be a start date in Kirkoswald for the drainage works, or the completion dates for many of the works that are either late or the completion dates are extended, for example the Ballantrae Bridge.
“Carlock Wall is an excellent example of nobody being on site for long periods of time and the contract running into years beyond the original completion dates.
“Further suspected landslides at Carlock Hill means traffic lights remaining in situ because of these suspected landslides that we were told would be dealt with by Christmas of last year!
“This has meant the A77 has been subjected to single lane carriageway for the past ten years (3000 days and counting out of the 3652 days) because of traffic control systems.
“These examples are not criticising the workers but saying to the Minister is there an adequate budget being allocated to get this maintenance and improvement works done on time on the A77, and for the Minister either to answer that question or direct it to Transport Scotland and Amey to justify the delays.”
The group is eager to come out of the meeting with the transport minister having committed to giving the A77 its “fair share of capital investment from the Roads Infrastructure Improvement Budget”.
A group spokesman added: “We know we have only received 0.04 per cent of the £10b over the past decade from this budget.
“We need a commitment from the minister to treat the A77 fairly alongside the other trunk roads in Scotland, e.g. the A9 and A83, where we have suffered a lot more landslides than the A83, yet it gets nearly £1/2b thrown at it to construct a mile of tunnel to protect against the landslides.
“Most important is for the minister to establish a focus group for the A77, A76 and A75 trunk roads.
“This would mean we would be in the face of the Transport Minister raising the above issues and holding the Transport Minister to account for the necessary progress on maintenance and improvements.
“But, more important, we would be in there arguing for our fair share of capital investment and a commitment to bring the A77 up to dual carriageway standards if we are ever to turn round the economic growth and opportunities that this would offer for the South West corner of Scotland.”
