Mainline traffic will be directed off at junction 18/17 St Georges Road, then go north along St Georges Road, before heading south on Garscube Road.
The route will then go east onto Dobbie's Loan, rejoining the M8 Eastbound at junction 16 (Craighall).
Slip traffic will be redirected via North Street and St Georges Road to join the main diversion at St Georges X.
Emergency service vehicles will still have access throughout the works.
Drivers are advised to plan their journey, allowing extra time for travelling through the signed diversion.
Glasgow City Council has issued a warning that any vehicles deviating from the published diversion route may get a penalty charge notice.
All the maintenance works are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if the conditions are not favourable.
