M74 Completion Work Requires Temporary Closure Of M8 Paisley Road Off Ramp

On behalf of Transport Scotland, Interlink M74 Joint Venture will be carrying out work in advance of the erection of the viaduct which will carry the M74 over the M8 as part of the M74 Completion project.

The M8 Junction 21 (Paisley Road) eastbound off ramp will be temporarily closed between midnight on 23rd July 2009 and midnight on 7th August 2009 to allow for vital preparatory work

During the temporary closure, traffic will be directed to leave the M8 eastbound secondary carriageway at Junction 21 Seaward Street, turn left to travel north on Seaward Street to the junction with Paisley Road and then turn right to travel east on Paisley Road to the end of the diversion at the junction with Paisley Road off ramp.

The M74 Completion project will benefit the local economy by creating new jobs locally and reducing congestion on roads across Glasgow. The new stretch of road will also bring economic benefits to Scotland as a whole and will improve transport links across the west of Scotland, reduce road accidents and improve the environment.

David Welsh, Interlink M74 Joint Venture Project Director said: "We are aware this is a busy stretch of road and we apologise in advance for any inconvenience.

"These works are essential preparations for the new viaduct being constructed in this area and we have planned the work in such a way as to minimise the disruption for road users.

"We would urge drivers to pay attention to fixed and variable signs regarding the short diversion we will have in place and to be patient while this important work takes place."
