Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential resurfacing on the M8 at Junction 30, including the associated on-slip road, using a total carriageway closure, between 10pm on Saturday 7 September until 6am on Monday 9 September.  

Traffic will be diverted as follows:

Traffic for the southbound M898 will be directed to take the A726 south to the M8 Junction 29 St James Interchange and join the M8 eastbound or westbound.  

Traffic travelling on the M8 eastbound will exit the M8 at Junction 30 on to the M898 northbound and exit at the A726 slip road to follow the above diversion.

Motorway traffic wishing to travel on the southbound A898 will be diverted along the A82 eastbound Great Western Road to Crow Road and the A739 before being directed to the A814 Clydeside Expressway towards the M8 at Kingston Bridge. HGVs must use this diversion route.

Non-Motorway traffic will be diverted along the A82 eastbound Great Western Road, to Crow Road and the A739 before being directed on to the A814 Clydeside Expressway. Traffic will then be directed to Finnieston Street, Govan Road and Paisley Road West. From there, traffic will be diverted along Edmiston Drive, Shieldhall Road, and Glasgow Road before being directed to Glebe Street, Inchinnan Road, Greenock Road and Southbar Road to the A726 where this diversion will end. This route is not suitable for HGVs.

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.

All schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
