Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland as part of the Network Management Contract for the South-West Trunk Road Unit, are undertaking essential road resurfacing works on the M77 on-slip to the M8 eastbound, and the M8 eastbound inner mainline carriageway at Junction 22, from Sunday 4th December until Monday 12th December 2022, between the hours of 10pm and 6am, each night. 

This scheme, with a value of £368,016, will benefit around 56,100 vehicles using this route each day, by improving the condition of the carriageway and reducing the need for more extensive maintenance in the future. 

The work will be carried out using overnight road closures, and signed diversions will be in operation. We thank road users for their patience and co-operation while these essential works take place. 

The diversions for this route will be as follows: 

Sunday 4th December to Tuesday 6th December 2022 10pm-6am each night: Total closure of the M77 ramp onto the M8. There will be an additional single lane closure on the M8 eastbound at the bottom of the slip road 10pm on Tuesday 6th December until 6am on Wednesday 7th December. Traffic from the M77 for the M8 will be diverted off the M77 northbound at Junction 1 to take Dumbreck Road and join the M8 eastbound at Junction 23. 

Wednesday 7th December to Saturday 10th December 2022 10pm-6am each night: Total closure of the M8 eastbound at Junction 22 with a single lane closure on the M77 ramp onto the M8 each night. M8 eastbound traffic will be diverted onto the M74 southbound to leave at the M8 Junction 21 eastbound to Seaward Street, to then re-join the M74 northbound and follow onto the M77 southbound to leave at Junction 1 and re-join the M77 northbound at Junction 1. Traffic will then follow the road to re-join the M8 eastbound.  

10pm Sunday 11th December to 6am on Monday 12th December 2022: Total closure of the M77 ramp onto the M8. Traffic from the M77 for the M8 will be diverted off the M77 northbound at Junction 1 to take Dumbreck Road and join the M8 eastbound at Junction 23. 

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works. 

Our operatives will follow strict physical distancing and hygiene protocols throughout the programme, in line with the Scottish Government’s COVID-19 guidance. 

Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
