In order to minimise disruption, the works will be undertaken in two phases: Phase One: The M8 westbound diverge slip road carriageway to the A8 westbound at Junction 6 Newhouse will be closed overnight.

There will be no access to Chapelhall, Eurocentral, Coatbridge or Bargeddie from the M8 westbound at Junction 6 during phase 1 of the closures.

Phase Two: The road will be closed overnight between junctions 6 and 7. As a result, the M8 westbound Junction 6A Chapelhall on slip road will also be shut.

Signed diversion routes will be in place.
