We reported how speed cameras will be in operation on the M8 from September 8, and parts of the motorway will be shut over the coming months due to major works.
Starting today, Amey will carry out a bridge refurbishment project, including rail and slip road upgrades, on the busy road at Junction 26 (Hillington Interchange).
The 'essential works', valued at £10 million, will be completed over five phases from September 2025 until Spring 2026.
