M74 Junction 6 ⏐ Essential Structural Investigations
Essential Structural Investigations on the M74 at Junction 6 commence Monday 4th March 2024
Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential structural investigations and associated works on the M74 northbound and southbound at Junction 6 and underneath on the A723 eastbound and westbound between Motherwell and Hamilton, from Monday 4th March until Friday 6th June 2024, between the hours of 8 pm and 6 am each night. The work will be carried out using overnight lane closures on the M74 and total overnight closures on the A723. We thank road users for their patience and cooperation while this essential work takes place.
Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.
This scheme will benefit vehicles using this route each day, by improving the condition of the carriageway structure and reducing the need for more extensive maintenance in the future.
The following closures are required:
04/03/2024 to 06/06/2024 – overnight lane closures on the M74 northbound and M74 southbound.
24/04/2024 to 03/05/2024 – total overnight closures on the A723 westbound.
