Roadworks: Part of M8 in Glasgow to be closed - these are the diversions that will be in place

Amey, which is undertaking essential maintenance on the M8 (Junctions 13 - 14) between Provan Viaduct and Blochairn, has announced that the work will be carried out from March 7, rather than the February 28 date originally earmarked.

The work is due to last until March 31, and will take place during the hours of 8pm and 6am, each night.

This scheme, with a value of £500,000, will benefit vehicles using this route each day by improving the surface of the bridge deck and condition of the bridge joints, which will reduce the need for more extensive maintenance in the future.

What roads will be closed?

Westbound Closures:

M8 closure between Junction 13 off-slip road and Junction 14 on-slip road: Traffic will be diverted from the M8 via the Junction 13 off-slip road to follow Provan Road.
