Scotland TranServ has completed a £100,000 road maintenance project on the M74 Motorway.

The scheme involved addressing issues with potholes and superficial cracks on the M74 northbound between Junction 12 and the A70. Cyclic maintenance work was also carried out in the area.

Brendan O'Sullivan, Scotland TranServ's Network Area Manager said: "This short programme of work will deliver long-term benefits to commuters, freight traffic and tourists heading into the central belt.

"This essential programme will significantly improve the quality of the road surface. We managed to keep disruption to a minimum by carrying out the work overnight."

Deputy Operations Manager Andy Adam added: "Last year we maintained more than 25million m2 of trunk road and motorway verges, we collected over 98 tonnes of rubbish left behind by careless drivers and emptied 26,000 gullies. In order to carry out this work safely, it would have been necessary to have implemented dozens more road closures, were it not for maximising opportunities like this."
