Stretch of M8 to close at Charing Cross overnight for week of resurfacing works

The next phase of the ongoing M8 resurfacing project is to take place at the end of the month over the bank holiday weekend - which means road closures overnight.

The latest stretch runs on the westbound route of the motorway between Junction 17 - Junction 19 at Charing Cross with overnight closures of the carriageway over the week of Friday May 24 to Saturday June 1.

The proposed series of overnight closures would therefore include:

Alan Murray, Scotland TranServ’s Principal Roads Design Engineer said: “Working in consultation with local authorities, emergency services and key stakeholders we have carefully scheduled these works for a time of low impact.

“A similar scheme to resurface a kilometre of the M8 at Anderston Cross was successfully completed during the same timeframe last year. These closures are important to protect the health and safety of our drivers and the travelling public."

Drivers using the M8 overnight are being asked to plan their journeys with this in mind, and to add some additional journey times.

Further diversion details are available on the Scotland TranServ website.
