The eastbound off-slip at M8 Junction Hermiston Gait 1 will be closed for works to install traffic detector loops on the night of Monday 7 October, between 20:30 and 06:00.
Traffic wishing to join the A720 westbound will be directed onwards to Hermiston Gait Roundabout to take the first exit onto the A720, adding an additional one minute and 0.1 miles to affected journeys.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “It is essential for safety that we close this slip road while the works take place, however the diversion is a short one so we don’t expect this to cause any significant delays.”
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.
Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland at www.traffic.gov.scot, or on X at @trafficscotland.
