Find out what it means for your route PLAN AHEAD Drivers warned as major Scots motorway set for closures for almost A MONTH Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DRIVERS are being warned major roadworks are to begin on a busy motorway. A bridge refurbishment project is to take place, including rail and slip road upgrades, on the M8 at Junction 26 (Hillington Interchange). Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Essential works are to begin on the M8 next month Credit: Alamy The essential works will be carried out in five phases and include significant repairs and upgrades to four key bridge structures. Amey says the £10million project will address issues including vehicle parapets, structure waterproofing, safety barriers, and carriageway surfacing. Phase One will take place from Monday, September 8, until Wednesday, October 1 and will see a contraflow on the M8 mainline carriageway at Junction 26. This will involve closing lane two and three of the eastbound carriageway and narrow running lanes to facilitate. In addition, a total closure of the M8 Junction 26 eastbound on-slip road will be implemented for the duration of Phase One. Traffic will be diverted as follows: North of Hillington Interchange for Vehicles in Renfrew/Braehead Area: Daytime traffic (6am to 7pm) wishing to use the Junction 26 on-slip road will be directed to follow Hillington Interchange to King's Inch Road and Old Givan Road to join the M8 eastbound at the Junction 25A (Braehead) on-slip road. Overnight traffic (7pm to 6am) wishing to use the Junction 26 on-slip road will be directed to follow Hillington Interchange to Renfrew Road, Shieldhall Road, and Helen Street to join the M8 eastbound at the Junction 24 (Helen Street Interchange) on-slip road. South of Hillington Interchange for vehicles in Hillington Industrial Estate area: All traffic wishing to use Junction 26 from south of the Interchange will be directed to follow Hillington Road to Paisley Road West, Helen Street, and then join the M8 eastbound via Junction 24 (Helen Street Interchange) on-slip road. Major motorway closed after car flipped on its roof sparking huge delays A 40mph speed limit will also be in effect during the project's duration, with average speed cameras in operation. Amey says construction noise will be unavoidable for the duration of the works. Suitable noise dampening measures will be implemented on-site overnight. Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout the project. Amey said in a statement: 'Road users are thanked for their patience and understanding while this work is being undertaken. 'Advice is to allow for extra time to complete any journeys during this period, using alternative routes where possible. 'Various road network improvements are taking place across the M8 corridor through Glasgow and these should be considered in any journey planning.'
