Motorists have been warned of upcoming overnight weekend closures on the M8 motorway in Glasgow to facilitate major repairs to footbridges.
To allow the removal of the spans from the site, the M8 motorway will be closed overnight in both directions on two consecutive weekends in July and August. The two extended overnight closures are required across the M8, in both directions, between Junctions 19 and 24 . Traffic intending to travel on the M8 Eastbound will be diverted onto Helen Street, Paisley Road West, Paisley Road, Kingston Street, Commerce Street, King George V Bridge, Broomielaw, and North Street. From here, traffic will be able to rejoin the M8 via the Junction 19 Eastbound On-Slip and diversion will end. Those intending to travel on the M8 Westbound will follow the same diversion route in the opposite direction.
Preparatory works for the weekend span removals will be required overnight from Monday, July 1 and following the span removals, in-situ repairs will commence. The scheme has been planned in consultation with Transport Scotland, Traffic Scotland, the emergency services, Glasgow City Council, and other key stakeholders.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
