Drivers warned busy road in Glasgow to close for a month
Junction 18, the M8 eastbound off slip which leads to St George's Road, is to shut from May 12 to June 9. It is understood that this is to allow for new traffic signals to be installed. During this time, a diversion will be in place. Motorists will still be able to leave the M8 at junction 18 but will instead be diverted onto Great Western Road (A82). From there, they will travel onto Park Road and Woodlands Road before re-joining St George's Road.
