On behalf of Transport Scotland, Amey will carry out a package of essential overnight maintenance works on the motorway’s eastbound carriageway between Junctions 18 (Charing X) and 16 (Craighall) which will be continued throughout 2025.
Eastbound works will take place from Sunday, February 9 until Friday, February 28 from 10pm to 6am each night excluding Friday nights and Saturdays.
The work will be carried out using overnight closures of the motorway between the junctions.
This scheme is to enable the next phase of work of the M8 Woodside Viaduct project.

Slip Roads Diversions
- The eastbound on slips at Junction 19 (Anderston) and Junction 18 (Charing X) will also be closed with the diverted traffic continuing onto northbound North Street and St Georges Road to join the mainline diversion at St Georges X.
