PART of the M8 in Glasgow will close for 10 nights.

The motorway will be closed to traffic eastbound between Junction 19 Anderston interchange and Junction 16 Dobbie's Loan for enabling works. 

Work will take place from Monday, August 21 to Thursday, August 31 between 10pm and 6am each night.

Signed diversion routes will be in operation during the overnight closures.

Eastbound traffic will be directed to leave the motorway at junction 18 St George’s Road/ Great Western Road.

Traffic will then follow diversions onto St George’s Cross, then St George’s Road, and onto Garscube Road.

They will then continue onto Dobbie’s Loan, before re-entering the M8 eastbound at junction 16 Craighall. 

The Junction 19 on-slip at Anderson and the Junction 18 on-slip at Charing Cross will also be closed.
