The westbound carriageway of the M8 after Junction 3 will be closed for resurfacing between 20:30 and 06:00 each night from Monday 31 March to Friday 4 April, and from Monday 7 April to Friday 11 April.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will carry out the works, renewing 1.2km of road surface to create smoother and safer journeys for motorists using this section of the motorway.
A signed diversion route will be in place between M8 Junctions 3 and 4. Westbound traffic will be diverted off the M8 at Junction 3, following the A899, A89, A7066 and A801 to rejoin the M8 at Junction 4. This diversion route will add approximately 7 minutes and 1.3 miles to affected journeys.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “It is essential for safety that we close this section of carriageway while resurfacing takes place.
“We’ve scheduled the works at night to minimise disruption, however we appreciate that this will cause delays for some people and thank the public in advance for their patience and understanding.”
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
