Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will commence essential bridge joint replacement works on the M8 Kingston Bridge Complex from Monday 10th February.

The works, which will involve overnight road closures, are scheduled to continue until 24th February.

"Starting Monday 3rd February 2025, Amey will begin delamination works to check the condition of concrete across the Kingston Bridge Complex structures," said a spokesperson for Amey. "This work will involve engineers accessing exposed areas of the structures using mobile elevated working platforms, which require temporary traffic management measures on the below roads."

"These closures are also being utilised to undertake planned expansion joint works," the spokesperson added. "To ensure the integrity of the structures and the safety of the public, which is paramount, Amey undertakes a series of routine inspections at varying frequencies each year. This new programme of reactive inspections will inform any future monitoring, inspection, or mitigation activities that may be necessary at this location."

Overnight road closures will be in place at various locations on the M8, including the Junction 20 on-slip at West Street and the Bothwell Street off-slip.

Diversion routes will be clearly signposted.

"These schemes have been planned in consultation with Transport Scotland, Traffic Scotland, the emergency services, Glasgow City Council, and other key stakeholders," the spokesperson said. "These schemes will benefit vehicles using this route each day, by improving the condition and safety of the structures and reducing the need for more extensive maintenance in the future."

Road users are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and allow extra time for travel during the period of the works.
