To allow the work to be completed, the road will be closed. A signed diversion will be in place for motorists.

Amey has said traffic management will be removed by 6am on Sunday, December 1.

The diversion will be as follows: 

  • Southbound traffic will exit the M77 at Junction 4 towards Newton Mearns and merge onto the B7087.
  • At the roundabout, traffic will be directed to take the second exit onto Crookfur Road and the second exit at the next roundabout onto the A77, where they will be able to re-join the M77 via the southbound Junction 5 on-slip.
