• Overnight slip road closures 6 and 8 June 2022

BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, is set to resurface 0.5 kilometres of the slip road off the eastbound M8 at Junction 4A.

The works will take place on the nights of Monday 6 and Wednesday 8 June.

For the safety of workers and road users, the Junction 4A eastbound off-slip will be closed between 20:30 and 06:00 on these nights.

A signed diversion route will direct traffic onwards to turn at M8 Junction 4, before returning via the westbound carriageway and exiting at the Junction 4A westbound off-slip. This diversion route will add approximately 5 minutes and 4 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 slip road.

“An overnight road closure is essential for safety, however we will do all we can to complete the works 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.
