The next stage of Amey’s essential bridge maintenance works on the M8 eastbound will begin next Monday (17 April).

The works between Junctions 25 (Cardonald) and 25A (Braehead) will be carried out in three phases and will run until Thursday 27 July.

Traffic management will be in place 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the works. There will also be overnight road closures from 8pm to 6am between phases for re-positioning of traffic management. A total closure of eastbound and westbound for one night is also planned to allow set-up of traffic management.

Signed diversions will be in place during the closures. Average speed cameras will also be in operation.

The works, which include bridge deck waterproofing, concrete repairs, resurfacing and drainage improvements on three bridges, will improve the safety and condition of the bridges and reduce the need for more extensive maintenance in the future.

The works will be carried out in three phases:
• Phase one – offside lanes – hard shoulder, slip lane at KGV Dock Access, lanes 1 and 2 at Woyka Viaduct and Cardonald Underpass running as narrow lanes between Junctions 25 and 25A
• Phase two – hard should, lanes 3 and 4 running as narrow lanes. Works taking place with traffic running either side of the works between Junctions 25 and 25A.
• Phase three – lanes 2, 3 and 4 running as narrow lanes between Junctions 25 and 25A

* IMPORTANT UPDATE *

Glasgow Airport has updated the price for the pick up/ drop off point.

Which also unfortunately means we also have to charge £5 instead of £4 as it previously was.

We hope everyone understands that this is out with our control and we thank you all for your continued support.
