Improvements to a road junction in Cambuslang will get underway next week.

The work will start on Monday 15 April at the junction of Westburn Road/Westburn Drive.

A new roundabout connecting Westburn Road, Westburn Drive and Westburn Farm Road will be constructed with associated lighting, drainage and carriageway construction taking place. A pedestrian crossing on Westburn Road near Lockhart Avenue/Northbank Street will also be created.

Works for the diversion of the public utilities apparatus will start on Westburn Road/Westburn Drive and will be carried out under lane closures and temporary traffic signals. The construction works will last for 28 weeks. The works are being carried out by Wills Bros Civil Engineering Ltd.

This project is being supported by City Deal and while every effort will be made to minimise disruption for residents, road users and local businesses, some delays will be inevitable and we would ask people to be patient and to look forward to the benefits this project will deliver.
