For safety reasons, temporary traffic management will be in place between 8pm – 6am each night of the project. A two-phased diversion route will be in place.

Rajan Singh, Scotland TranServ Assistant Engineer said: "This project will help to address issues with potholes and structural cracking on one of Scotland's busiest commuter routes, connecting communities in East Dunbartonshire, North Lanarkshire, Falkirk and Stirlingshire with Glasgow; this is an important road and to minimise disruption to road users we're working overnight to deliver tangible benefits to around 25,000 drivers every day."
