M8 Eastbound at Junction 24 | Essential Resurfacing

Helen Street
23rd of March 2026, 8:00pm to 29th of March 2026, 6:00am

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential resurfacing on the M8 eastbound at Junction 24, including the off slip, from Monday 23rd March until Sunday 29th March 2026 between the hours of 8pm and 6am each night. 

This work will require overnight closures of the M8 eastbound carriageway between Junctions 26 and 24, and the closures of the eastbound Junction 26 on slip, the Junction 25A on slip and the Junction 25 on slip.

  • Traffic travelling on the M8 eastbound will be directed to exit at Junction 26 and follow A736 Hillington Road, A8 Renfrew Road, A8 Shieldhall Road, A8 Shieldhall Road/Edmiston Drive and Helen Street before re-joining the M8 eastbound at Junction 24. 
     
  • Traffic for the Junction 25A eastbound on slip from Braehead will be directed to continue on Kings Inch Drive and follow Kings Inch Road, A8 Renfrew Road, A8 Shieldhall Road, A8 Shieldhall Road/Edmiston Drive and Helen Street before joining the M8 eastbound at Junction 24. 
     
  • Traffic for the Junction 25 eastbound on slip from the A739 will be diverted from the A739 to Langlands Road and follow the A8 Shieldhall Road/Edmiston Drive and Helen Street before joining the M8 eastbound at Junction 24. 
     

Lane closures on the M8 eastbound between Junctions 27 and 26 will also be in operation, as well as lane closures on Helen Street northbound between Monday 23rd March and Wednesday 25th March. 

Non-motorway traffic requiring access to Helen Street northbound will be diverted from Paisley Road West and follow Broomloan Road and Edmiston Drive before re-joining Helen Street. 

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

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

This scheme will benefit vehicles using this route each day, by improving the safety and condition of the carriageway in this location. 

Road users are thanked for their patience and understanding while this work is being undertaken.
