M8 Hermiston Gait Eastbound Off-Slip | Bridge Works
This page has been archived. For information on live or future events and roadworks view our travel news.
The eastbound off-slip at M8 Junction Hermiston Gait 1 will be closed for bridge joint replacement works between 20:00 and 06:00 on the nights of Tuesday 22 to Friday 25 October.
Traffic wishing to join the A720 westbound will be directed onwards to Hermiston Gait Roundabout to take the first exit onto the A720, adding an additional one minute and 0.1 miles to affected journeys.
David Bishop, BEAR Scotland’s South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: "It is essential for safety that we close this slip road while the works take place, however the diversion is a short one so we don’t expect this to cause any significant delays."
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
