Specialist contractor HBS will start replacing 1.2kms of barrier on the M8 eastbound between Junctions 22 and 21 at Kinning Park from Wednesday, 18 April.
The scheme will be carried out overnight from Sunday to Thursday for 10 weeks, starting at 8pm and ending at 6am each morning.
Laura Gray, Scotland TranServ's Deputy Planned Maintenance Manager said: "Already, on behalf of Transport Scotland, we have invested over £4.5million to replace M8 barriers that are reaching the end of their maintainable life. We've improved lighting with hundreds of new energy efficient LED lamps and refurbished overhead gantries, installing new LED signage, delivering long-term benefits to Scotland's busiest motorway.

"In order to complete the £620k project as efficiently and safely as possible it will be necessary to implement overnight lane closures on the motorway from Sunday to Thursday each week for up to ten weeks. Local diversions will be clearly signed."
Over the last three years, Scotland TranServ has successfully replaced around 25 kilometres of central reservation barrier along the M8 as part of a major refurbishment scheme.
