Drivers are being warned of road closures and diversions as repair work is carried out on the M8 for over two weeks.

Amey will be carrying out parapet replacement at Junction 18 (Charing X) from March 23 until April 10.

The work will require the total closure of the M8 eastbound junction 18 off-slips to St George’s Road/Great Western Road (including the eastbound Junction 19 Anderston on-slip) from 8pm on Sunday, March 23, until 6am on Monday 24.

The off-slip to Great Western Road will be closed from March 24 until April 9, and traffic will be diverted via the M8 eastbound junction 18 off-slip to St Georges Road.

From 8pm on April 9 until 6am on April 10, the junction’s off-slips to St George’s Road/Great Western Road will be completely closed.

There will also be continuous 24-hour nearside lane closures on Great Western Road between West Graham Street and St George’s Road on-slip to Great Western Road from 8pm on March 23 to April 10.

Amey has said the work will benefit drivers by improving the condition and safety of the parapet and reducing the need for more extensive maintenance in the future.
