Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland as part of the Network Management Contract for the South-West Trunk Road Unit, are undertaking essential traffic signal improvements on the A8 at Rue End Street, Greenock, from Monday 24th October until Wednesday 30th November 2022 between the hours of 9:30am and 3pm, each weekday.

This scheme, with a value of £180,000, will benefit around 30,000 vehicles using this route each day, by improving traffic signal times and providing safer active travel for non-motorised road users. Journey times will also be improved.

The work will be carried out using 24-hour temporary traffic lights in this location. Additional lane closures may also be required to construct some elements within this scheme. We thank road users for their continued cooperation and patience while these essential works take place.

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.
