Scotland TranServ, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will this November resurface 1.6km of the M74 Northbound between Junction 3A and Junction 3, near Mount Vernon.

In order to complete this half million pounds project as quickly and safely as possible, it will be necessary to implement a series of overnight closures from Monday the 11^th until Monday the 18^th of November.

Adam Sarwar, Scotland TranServ’s project design lead on the scheme said:

“We have been working in liaison with local authorities, emergency services and key stakeholders to carefully schedule this programme of work to minimise impact on commuters and businesses using this busy route every day.

“In addition, it is important that we avoid impacting late night Christmas shopping traffic and deliver this scheme before the weather deteriorates. We would like to take this opportunity to thank drivers in advance for their patience while we complete the project and deliver long-term benefits to the road surface of the M74 northbound through this stretch of carriageway.”

Scotland TranServ will deliver this resurfacing programme under the following programme of overnight closures:

• 8pm on Monday 11^th until 6am on Tuesday 12^th November
• 8pm on Tuesday 12^th until 6am on Wednesday 13^th November
• 8pm on Wednesday 13^th until 6am on Thursday 14^th November
• 8pm on Thursday 14^th until 6am on Friday 15^th November
• 8pm on Friday 15^th until 6am on Saturday 16^th November
• 8pm on Saturday 16^th until 6am on Sunday 17^th November
• 8pm on Sunday 17^th until 6am on Monday 18^th November
