Lanarkshire motorists warned ahead of roadworks on M74 near Hamilton

Lanarkshire motorists are being warned of potential delays ahead of roadworks on the M74 near Hamilton.

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland as part of the Network Management Contract for the South-West Trunk Road Unit, are undertaking snagging works on the bridge joints of the M74 northbound at Junction 6 from Monday, May 29, until Wednesday, May 31.

Work will take place overnight between the hours of 8pm and 6am.

This scheme will conclude the installation of expansion joints on the bridge footways as part of the wider M74 Junction 6 bridge refurbishments that took place in 2022.

The work will be carried out under a total road closure of the M74 northbound off-slip road at Junction 6. Traffic intending to utilise this off-slip road will be diverted via Junction 5 at Raith Interchange. Diversion routes will be signed.

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.

All schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
