UPDATE 21 October 2025: These works at the M8 Junction 3 westbound on-slip will now take place between 20:30 and 06:00 on the nights of Thursday 23 and Friday 24 October (two nights only).

• Overnight carriageway closures 22, 23 and 24 October 2025

The slip road onto the westbound M8 at Junction 3 near Livingston will be closed for resurfacing between 20:30 and 06:00 on the nights of 22, 23 and 24 October.

The project will be carried out by Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland, and will involve renewing 600 metres of road surface.

A signed diversion route for traffic wishing to join the M8 westbound will be in place via the A899 north to Dechmont Roundabout, the A89 west to Boghall Roundabout, the A7066 west to Boghead Roundabout, and the A801 south to join the M8 at Junction 4, Whitburn.

A lane closure will be in place on Deer Park Roundabout and all approaches.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said “Closing the slip road is essential to ensure the safety of both road users and our workforce during these resurfacing works.

“We’ll do this overnight to minimise disruption as much as possible, however we understand this may still cause inconvenience for some road users. We thank the public in advance for their patience and understanding.

“If you need to use this route during the works, our advice is to plan ahead and allow extra time for the diversion.”

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
