BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, is set to carry out repairs to surfacing on two slip roads on the M8 at Junctions 4 and 4a.
To allow for the works to be carried out safely, the M8 Junction 4 westbound off-slip road will be closed for one night on Tuesday 4 June from 20:00 until 05:30.
The M8 Junction 4a westbound on-slip road will be closed on Wednesday 5 June for one night from 20:00 until 05:30.
During these periods of closure, signed diversion routes will be in place.
Tuesday 4 June, M8 Junction 4 westbound off-slip closure – Westbound traffic wishing to exit at Junction 4 will be directed to continue to the Junction 4a westbound off-slip, before returning via the eastbound carriageway to exit at the Junction 4 eastbound off-slip.
This diversion will add approximately five minutes and 4.6 miles to affected journeys.
Wednesday 5 June, M8 Junction 4a westbound on-slip closure – Traffic wishing to join the M8 westbound at Junction 4a will be directed onto the M8 eastbound, before turning at Junction 4 to join the westbound carriageway.
This diversion will add approximately five minutes and 4.2 miles to affected journeys.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These repairs will improve the road quality and safety for motorists using these slip roads on the M8.
“Slip road closures are essential for safety, however, we’ve planned for the works to take place overnight to minimise any disruption.
“We thank motorists in advance for their patience.”
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and other relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
All works are weather dependent and subject to postponement in the event of adverse conditions.
