BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, is set to resurface 1.5 kilometres of the eastbound M8 near Livingston over three overnight carriageway closures commencing on Wednesday 27 July 2022.
On the nights of 27, 28 and 29 July, the eastbound M8 between Junction 3A and Junction 3 will be closed between the hours of 20:30 until 06:00. A signed diversion route will be in place from Junction 3A to Junction 3 via the A779, A89 and A899, adding approximately 7 minutes and 5.5 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 surfacing improvements will improve ride quality and safety for motorists using this section of the M8.
“A carriageway closure is essential for the safety of workers and motorists, however we’ve planned the works to take place overnight to minimise any disruption.
“We will do all we can to complete the project as quickly as possible and thank motorists in advance for their patience.”
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
