A725 Northbound Hamilton Off-Slip closure for Carriageway Resurfacing

South Lanarkshire Council’s Roads and Transportation Services propose to carry out major carriageway resurfacing works on a section of Main Street, Blantyre from its junction with Douglas Street to its junction with Craigmuir Road.

The works are due to commence on Monday 18th March 2024 at 08:00hrs and be completed by Friday March 22nd 2024 at 18:00hrs, weather and resources permitting.

Unfortunately, the road is not sufficiently wide to safely maintain vehicular access while the works are being undertaken and subsequently the road will be closed from its junction with Douglas Street to its junction with Craigmuir Road. As a result of this work Hunthill Road from its junction with Stonefield Crescent to its junction with Main Street will also be closed.

General traffic will be unable to travel through the closure during the works, although we will endeavour to maintain access for businesses/ residents who live/ work within the closure wherever possible. There may be instances where access and egress will be significantly delayed depending on the status and progress of works on site. If you wish to avoid this, it may be advisable to park your vehicle outside the road closure prior to works starting. Traffic Marshals and site staff will be there to advise and assist residents during the working day. Access for pedestrian and cyclist access will be maintained through out the works.
