Essential Bridge Expansion Joint Replacements and Resurfacing works on the M8 at Junction 24 commence Thursday 21st March

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, are undertaking essential bridge expansion joint replacements and resurfacing works on the M8 between Junctions 24 (Helen Street) and 25 (Clyde Tunnel). This work will be completed in two phases:

Phase One will take place from Thursday 21st March until Sunday 24th March 2024. This work will operate under overnight closures between the hours of 10pm and 6am, and signed diversions will be in operation.
Phase Two will take place from Tuesday 2nd April until Saturday 23rd April 2024. These works will operate under a combination of lane and hard shoulder closures.
This scheme will benefit around 127,000 vehicles using this route each day, by improving the condition and safety of the carriageway structures and reducing the need for more extensive maintenance in the future.

The signed diversions will operate as follows:

M8 westbound: westbound traffic will exit the M8 via the Junction 24 off-slip and turn left on to Helen Street. At the roundabout, traffic will take the second exit to Paisley Road West and turn right on to Berryknowes Road, before continuing on to Cardonald Interchange, where traffic will be able to re-join the M8 westbound via the Junction 25 on-slip.

M8 Eastbound: Eastbound traffic will exit the M8 via the Junction 26 off-slip to Hillington roundabout and take the first exit on to the A739 to Hillington. At the next roundabout, traffic will take the third exit on to Renfrew Road, continue to the next roundabout and then take the third exit onto Shieldhall Road. Traffic will continue on Shieldhall Road and Edmiston Drive to the roundabout at Helen Street and take the third exit on to Helen Street, where traffic will be able to return to the M8 Eastbound via the Junction 24 on-slip.

M8 Westbound: Traffic will leave the M8 secondary carriageway at the Junction 23 off-slip, turn right on to Dumbreck Road and left on to Paisley Road West. At the roundabout, traffic will take the first exit to continue along Paisley Road West, turn right on to Berryknowes Road and continue to Cardonald Interchange, where traffic will be able to return to the M8 westbound via the Junction 25 on-slip.

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.
