Linda Craig, Highway Management (Scotland) Limited Project Manager, said: “This essential resurfacing work will help ensure the M80 motorway is kept in a safe condition for road users.

“The works are being carried out overnight when traffic flows are reduced, to minimise delays to motorists as much as possible.

“The planned carriageway closures are required to ensure that both our teams, as well as all road users, are kept safe during the essential maintenance works.”

“We encourage all motorists to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date journey information.”
