Work is to begin to install new motorway gantries as part of the £500 million M8/M73/M74 Motorway Improvements Project.

Graeme Reid, Project Manager, said: "Whilst we're doing everything we can to minimise the disruption, delays will be inevitable, so we're asking motorists to check the Transport Scotland and Traffic Scotland websites for updates on these key routes, to plan their journeys in advance and to look at taking an alternative route if possible."
