M8 LED lighting project continues
A programme to replace lighting across the M8 with energy saving LED lamps is set to continue overnight on Wednesday 30 March.
Scotland TranServ, on behalf of Transport Scotland has already replaced almost 200 lights across the trunk roads in Renfrewshire.
The existing high masts lighting columns will be replaced and the traditional sodium lamps replaced by modern, LED lights; which will not only help road safety but also reduce energy usage by up to 53%.
An overnight closure will be in place eastbound from Junctions 16 to 19 between 10.00pm and 6.00am to protect the safety of both road users and operatives alike.
