Part of the M8 is set to close for a whole weekend next month.
It comes as maintenance is carried out on the St James’ Viaduct at Junction 28A –A737 link.
The next phase of works includes the replacement of the bridge expansion joint on the eastbound carriageway, which requires traffic management to facilitate.
Overnight closures will be in place at this location, each night, from August 6 to 28, with a signed diversion in place.
