Erskine Bridge to close again this weekend as major works continue
Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will undertake a further total overnight closure of the A898 Erskine Bridge northbound from 8pm on Friday, August 22, until 6am on Saturday, August 23. The Erskine Bridge is set to shut down again to finalise repair works that previously led to a more than three-day closure earlier this month. Amey, acting on behalf of Transport Scotland, will oversee an additional total overnight closure of the A898 Erskine Bridge northbound from 8pm on Friday, August 22, until 6am on Saturday, August 23. There will also be a complete closure of the southbound on slip from the A82 Eastbound, with a single fast lane closure installed across the length of the structure. A weekend of significant repairs was conducted from Friday, August 8, as the route was resurfaced and vital joints were replaced. The route was scheduled to reopen on the morning of Monday, August 11, but due to an overrun in works, the route remained inaccessible until Tuesday, August 12. The upcoming closure will see the completion of surface repair works, along with the replacement of damaged safety barriers, new road markings and gantry sign inspections. Motorists and commuters are advised to plan their journey times accordingly, seek alternative routes or follow the standard, agreed diversions while the works are underway. Emergency service access has been agreed upon and will be maintained in coordination with relevant parties. These upgrade works form part of around £100,000 of investment in the bridge's infrastructure. Road closures M8 Junction 30 westbound off-slip to M898 northbound; A898/M898 northbound; A898 northbound slips to Great Western Road (both northbound and southbound); and A898 northbound on-slip to Erskine Bridge. A single lane closure will also be required on the A898 southbound carriageway, and there will be a closure of the A82 southbound off-slip to Erskine Bridge. Signed Diversions (northbound) Eastbound M8 traffic (from Greenock/Port Glasgow) will continue on the eastbound M8 to the Kingston Bridge and on to the M8 Junction 17 off-slip (Charing Cross, Glasgow) to join the westbound A82 (Great Western Road). Westbound traffic wishing to access the A898 Erskine Bridge will instead be directed to turn at the M8 Junction 31 off-slip (West Ferry Interchange) to join the same eastbound diversion. Westbound M8 traffic (from Glasgow towards M898) intending to cross the A898 Erskine Bridge should instead follow the M8 to Kingston Bridge and on to the M8 Junction 17 off-slip (Charing Cross, Glasgow) to join the westbound A82 (Great Western Road). Westbound M74 traffic (towards M898) intending to cross the A898 Erskine Bridge should instead exit M74 Junction 1 (towards Kinning Park) and follow local signage to the westbound A82 (Great Western Road). Northbound M77 traffic (towards M898) intending to cross the A898 Erskine Bridge should instead travel on the eastbound M8 and follow local signage to join the westbound A82 (Great Western Road). Signed Diversions (southbound) The Erskine Bridge southbound on slip from A82 eastbound will be closed from 8pm on Friday, August 22, until 6am Saturday, August 23. Eastbound A82 traffic intending to travel south on Erskine bridge will be diverted via Kilbowie Roundabout and access Erskine Bridge from A82 westbound. Local Traffic Access (Erskine) Local access to Erskine will be maintained via the B815 and the A726. Eastbound traffic (from Greenock/Port Glasgow) will continue on the eastbound M8 to Junction 30 to access Erskine via the A726. Westbound M8 traffic (from Glasgow to M898) wishing to access Erskine from the M8 will be diverted at the M8 Junction 31 off-slip road (West Ferry Interchange) to follow the eastbound diversion above to the A726. Local Erskine traffic intending to access the A82 Great Western Road, will be diverted at the A726 Spectacles Roundabout and join the southbound M8 off-slip road to the eastbound M8 and continue to the M8 Kingston Bridge Junction 17 off-slip road to join the westbound A82 (Great Western Road). Local access to Erskine (north of A898 Erskine Bridge) will be via the A726 to the A8 Greenock Road and from here following Inchinnan Road/Gleve Street/Glasgow Road/Renfrew Road/Shieldhall Road and the Clyde Tunnel and continuing on the Crow Road to join the westbound A82 (Great Western Road). Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes where possible to avoid the M898/A898 during these works. All tasks are subject to weather conditions and may be delayed or rescheduled if the weather turns foul.
