Glasgow City Council has announced diversions to allow the installation of a new bridge on the M8.

Both sides of the M8 will close between 9pm on 31 July and 11am on 01 August to allow the construction of main span of the new bridge over the M8 at Sighthill. Diversions will be put in place to allow journeys that would normally use this part of the motorway to use alternative routes.
