M8, Hillington Interchange – Major Bridge Refurbishment; 8th September – 1st October 2025 (phase one)

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking a major bridge refurbishment project, including rail and slip road upgrades, on the M8 at Junction 26 (Hillington Interchange). These essential works will be delivered over five phases from September 2025 until Spring 2026 and include significant repairs and upgrades to four key bridge structures, addressing vehicle parapets, structure waterproofing, safety barriers, and carriageway surfacing. 

From Monday 8th September until Wednesday 1st October 2025 a contraflow will be introduced in the area. In addition, a total closure of the M8 Junction 26 eastbound on-slip road will be implemented for the duration of phase one, and traffic will be diverted.
