Lanarkshire motorists are being warned of closures on the M74 set to take place later this month.
The motorway will undergo essential traffic loop detector installation works.
It means the southbound carriageway between Junction 4 Maryville and Junction 5 Raith will be shut for two nights between Tuesday, November 29, and Wednesday, November 30.
The closures have been scheduled overnight to minimise disruption to traffic and are required to ensure road user and road worker safety.
The M74 southbound carriageway between Junction 4 Maryville and Junction 5 Raith, including the off slip road to Bothwell Services, will be closed between 8pm to 6am on the scheduled days.
As a result, the following slip roads and link road will also be closed:
- M73 southbound link road to M74 southbound at M73 Junction 1 Maryville
- M74 southbound on slip road from Glasgow Road Uddingston (A721)
- M74 southbound off slip road to Bothwell Services
- M74 southbound on slip road from Bothwell Services
- M74 southbound Junction 5 Raith off slip road to Raith roundabout (A725)
Transport Scotland say the closures are required to ensure road user and road worker safety whilst essential traffic loop detector installation works are undertaken.
Signed diversion routes will be in place during these closures. And road users are encouraged to plan ahead and check Traffic Scotland website prior to travelling on these evenings.
The works will be carried out by Scottish Roads Partnership (SRP) on behalf of Transport Scotland to maintain the integrity and safety of this route. The works have been planned in consultation with Transport Scotland and Police Scotland.
Locals are advised that all works are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
If you have any enquiries regarding these works, you can contact SRP on 0800 042 0188 or info@scotroadspartnership.co.uk
