M8 closure near Edinburgh will be introduced tonight as works are carried out

A stretch of the M8 near Edinburgh will be closed to traffic from tonight.

Part of the motorway between junction two Claylands and junction one Hermiston Gait will be off-limits to motorists heading eastbound.

This is to allow Amey to carry out resurfacing works on approach to junction one.

The measure, which will be introduced tonight, will see the road closed between 8pm and 6am each night until Thursday, June 6.

Diversions are via the Newbridge roundabout and Gogar roundabout.
