It will affect drivers from the Bellshill area going to and from Glasgow.

Access to Bargeddie and the Showcase Cinema complex will be maintained via local roads.

Drivers already face diversions at Baillieston because of work on the A8. That started five weeks ago and is due to last up to another five weeks.

Tonight signed diversions will be in place via the M73, M74 and A725.
