Warning about delays
Road users are being advised about four overnight closures of two carriageways at the Raith Interchange.
The northbound and southbound carriageways between Raith Junction and Shawhead Junction will be closed between Monday, February 27, and Thursday, March 2, (inclusive) for essential carriageway resurfacing works.
Closures have been scheduled overnight to minimise disruption to traffic and are required to ensure road user and road worker safety.
The works are planned to take place in two phases as follows.
Phase 1: Southbound – The A725 southbound carriageway between Bellziehill Junction off slip road and off slip road to Raith Junction will be closed for two nights, from 8pm on the days below to 6am on the following days, Monday, February 27, and Tuesday, February 28 (two nights).
As a result, the following slip roads will also be closed: A725 southbound Bellziehill Junction on slip road, A725 southbound Orbiston Junction off slip road, A725 southbound Orbiston Junction on slip road, A725 southbound Raith
Junction off slip road to Raith roundabout
Phase 2 : Northbound – The A725 northbound carriageway between Bellziehill Junction off slip road and Shawhead Junction (North Road) will be closed for two nights, from 8pm on the days below to 6am on the following days, Wednesday, March 1, and Thursday, March 2, (two nights).
As a result, the following slip roads will also be closed:
A725 northbound Bellziehill Junction on slip road, A725 northbound Diamond Junction (James Street) off slip road, A725 northbound Strathclyde Business Park off slip road, A725 northbound Strathclyde Business Park on slip road, A725 northbound Shawhead Junction on slip road to M8 eastbound
A spokesperson for Transport Scotland said:“these overnight closures have been phased to ensure only one direction of the A725 carriageway, northbound or southbound, is closed at any given time.
“The closures are required to ensure road user and road worker safety whilst essential road resurfacing works are undertaken and have been scheduled overnight to minimise disruption to traffic. The road will reopen by 6am each morning.
“Signed diversion routes will be in place.”
