Edinburgh and Lothian traffic chaos as busy M8 slip road closed for five months

A much used slip road carrying eastbound traffic off the M8 will be shut for five months at Junction 3 Livingston.

The works are due to start on Monday February 13 which will see major repairs take place to refurbish a bridge carrying a slip road.

It is understood that the project will cost around £1.4m, with preparatory works including surveys and trial pits already taking place last month on the concrete bridge that acts a throughway for the eastbound slip road off the M8 at the aforementioned junction, the Daily Record reports.
