Overnight lane restrictions will be in place on the M8 between Junctions 4 and 4A from the night of Wednesday 5 January 2022, to allow safety barriers in the central reservation to be upgraded by Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland.
Between 20:30 and 06:00 each night from 5 January until 9 February, excluding weekends, traffic will be restricted to a single lane in each direction, running on the hard shoulder westbound and lane one eastbound.
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to make them aware of these plans in advance.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “Overnight lane restrictions are essential to allow these upgrades to be carried out safely. We thank motorists for their patience and will do everything possible to complete the job as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
