Drivers warned of "significant delays" on the M74 for next 10 days

Wishaw commuters could face “significant delays” over the next 10 days on the M74 motorway.

Motorists are being warned to expect significant delays on the M74 in both directions on approach to Junction 5, Raith, starting tomorrow.

From 8pm on Tuesday, July 16, a contraflow will be in operation on the M74 north and southbound between Junction 6 Hamilton/Motherwell and Bothwell Services, with a minimum of two lanes running in each direction.

A Transport Scotland spokesperson added: “A ‘Get in Lane, Stay in Lane’ system will be in operation for M74 northbound traffic approaching Junction 5 Raith Junction.

“This traffic management is required to allow maintenance and re-waterproofing works to be carried out on Raith Bridge, on approach to Junction 5, Raith.

“Significant delays are expected during peak times and road users are advised to avoid the area if possible or use alternative modes of transport.”
