Carnie Morrison, Highway Management (Scotland) Limited General Manager, said:
“This essential programme of resurfacing work will help ensure the M80 and M73 motorways are kept in a safe condition for road users. The works are being carried out overnight, when traffic flows are reduced, to minimise delays to motorists as much as possible. Traffic management is required to ensure that workers and road users are protected, however our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.
“We encourage all motorists to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date journey information.”
Real-time journey planning information can be obtained by visiting www.traffic.gov.scot twitter @trafficscotland, or the mobile site my.trafficscotland.org.
The works are being carried out by Holcim UK Limited on behalf of Highway Management (Scotland) Limited. Works have been planned in consultation with Transport Scotland and Amey.
