A725 overnight road closures planned between Raith Interchange and Main Street

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking completion of central reservation barrier upgrades on the A725 between the Raith Interchange and B7012 (Main Street) junction from Thursday 23rd July until Monday 27th July 2026. Upgrades will be undertaken from 8pm to 6am each night. No works will take place on Friday or Saturday nights.

The A725 southbound carriageway will be closed overnight between the Raith Interchange and the Main Street on-slip on Thursday 23rd July and Sunday 26th July.

Southbound traffic will leave the A725 at Raith Interchange, where they will join Bellshill Bypass, they can then turn left onto Hamilton Rd, becoming B7071 Bothwell Road. Traffic will then be diverted onto Almada Street before turning right onto Burnbank Road becoming High Blantyre Road/Main Street. Traffic can rejoin the A725 at Main Street junction via the southbound on-slip.

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.

Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.

This scheme will benefit over 55,000 vehicles using this route each day, by improving the safety of the carriageway in this location.

Road users are thanked for their patience and understanding while this work is being undertaken.
