M73 Northbound Between Junction 2 Baillieston And Junction 3 Mollinsburn | Bridge Joint Replacement Works

Road users are advised that the M73 northbound carriageway between Junction 2 Baillieston & Junction 3 Mollinsburn will be closed overnight for five consecutive nights, commencing Monday 22 June 2026, for essential bridge joint replacement works. The closures have been scheduled overnight to minimise disruption to traffic and are required to ensure road user and road worker safety.
 

The closures will take place overnight from 8pm to 6am the following day, as follows:
•    Monday 22 June to Friday 26 June (5 nights)
 

As a result, the following link road and slip roads will also be closed:
•    M73 northbound Junction 2 Baillieston on-slip road from Baillieston roundabout
•     M73 northbound Junction 2A Gartcosh off-slip road
•    M73 northbound Junction 2A Gartcosh on-slip road 
•    M73 northbound off-slip road to Mollinsburn/Moodiesburn (A80)
•    M73 northbound link road to M80 northbound at Junction 3 Mollinsburn
 

A signed diversion route for the M73 northbound closure will be in place via the M8 westbound at Baillieston Interchange, continuing on the M8 westbound to Junction 13 Provan/Parkhead, to re-join the M80 northbound at Junction 1 Blochairn on-slip. The diversion will continue on the M80 northbound with the option to leave the M80 northbound at Junction 4 Mollinsburn off slip road for Moodiesburn and Gartcosh. A local diversion route will also be in place for the Gartcosh area via M73 southbound to Junction 2 Baillieston off slip road to Baillieston roundabout, to then follow the main diversion route on M8 westbound.  
 

The southbound diversion route will add an estimated 12 miles and 14 minutes to affected journeys. 
 

Road users are encouraged to plan ahead and check Traffic Scotland prior to travelling at these times to check their route.
