Scotland TranServ, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will this week carry out essential overnight resurfacing work on the westbound M8 Junction 30.

The £240,000 project will tackle potholes and structural cracks on this stretch of the motorway. In order to complete this 1km resurfacing work as safely and efficiently as possible, it will be necessary to implement temporary traffic management on each of the evenings from Tuesday 18^th to Friday the 21^st April between 20.00 in the evening to 06.00 the following morning.

Deeper surfacing is also required on a specific section - this has been scheduled for 20:00 on Friday evening until 12noon on Saturday 22^nd April to allow the extra depth of resurfacing to cool and harden. Traffic flows are lower than on weekday mornings.

Alan Murray, Scotland TranServ’s Principal Road Design Engineer said:

“This is not only one of Scotland’s busiest roads, but it is also an essential commuter, economic and tourist artery and that is why we are doing everything possible to minimise disruption by using overnight working to deliver long-term benefits to motorists.”
