The M8 junction for Braehead will close overnight for a week for emergency repairs following a burst sewer incident on Friday.
The M8 junction for Braehead will close overnight from tonight (Saturday, December 28) for emergency repairs . The works will be carried out by Scottish Water following a burst sewer incident on Friday (December 27) which closed junction 25A and left motorists complaining about a 'stench' in their cars, as 'contaminated water' leaked all over the busy road.
Both lanes of the Renfrewshire junction reopened last night after a clean-up operation, however the water authority says essential repairs are needed, and that the work will take up to a week to complete. The junction will close between 10pm and 6am each night, in a bid to minimise the impact on traffic. Tree removal works will take place on Saturday, followed by excavation and repair from Sunday night on. A spokesperson for Scottish Water said: “We thank road users for their ongoing patience while these essential repairs are carried out. We understand the disruption this may cause motorists however we are liaising closely with Amey and working to minimise the disruption as much as possible.
