M80 roadworks: Motorists urged to plan ahead as further major M80 roadworks announced

Closures will take place between 8pm and 6am, beginning on Monday, September 22 with the last day being on Friday, September 26.

These works, which are being carried out by Highway Barrier Solutions on behalf of Highway Management Limited, are said to be taking place as part of a rolling programme of maintenance works.

Carnie Morrison, Highway Management (Scotland) Limited general manager, said: “This programme of fencing works is essential to maintaining the safety and security of the M80.

“The traffic management is required to ensure that both our teams, as well as all road users, are kept safe during the essential works.

“We thank all road users for their patience and encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date journey information.”
