Carnie Morrison, Highway Management (Scotland) Limited General Manager, said:
“This essential programme of resurfacing work will help ensure the M80 and M73 motorways are kept in a safe condition for road users. The works are being carried out overnight, when traffic flows are reduced, to minimise delays to motorists as much as possible. Traffic management is required to ensure that workers and road users are protected, however our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.
“We encourage all motorists to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date journey information.”
