Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, has announced that it is undertaking essential investigations of one of Scotland’s busiest bridges, the M8 Kingston Bridge Complex in Glasgow, from Monday 18 May until Saturday 13 June 2026. The main body of works requiring 24/7 closure of the M8 Junction 19 Waterloo Street on-slip road will take place from Sunday 24 May until Tuesday 9 June 2026.

Signed diversions will be in place with traffic intending to use the Waterloo Street on-slip road diverted onto West Campbell Street, St Vincent Street, and Newton Street. From here, traffic will be able to join the M8 westbound via the Newton Street on-slip road.  

During this closure, services that use the bus stop located at the bottom of Waterloo Street will be closed and temporarily re-located to the existing bus stop to the east of its junction with West Campbell Street. These bus services will be diverted to turn right onto Pitt Street through St Vincent Street, and Newton Street to then join the M8 westbound via the Newton Street on-slip road. Bus services that use the bus stop located between Blythswood Street and West Campbell Street will be closed and temporarily re-located to West Campbell Street.

These bus services will continue onto West Campbell Street, St Vincent Street, and Newton Street. From here, traffic will be able to join the M8 westbound via the Newton Street on-slip road.
