In order to facilitate this there will be a series of overnight closures at this location with signed diversion routes in place. The programme for these is as follows:. The existing running lane on this slip road bridge will be maintained throughout the works with no restrictions to traffic flows. The following closures will be required to reinstate the centre reservation barrier and close the crossovers.
Traffic intending to travel this route will follow signage to be diverted back onto the M74 via Junction 6 at Hamilton. This closure will ensure the safety of our workforce and road users while work is underway.

Transport Scotland have cautioned commuters this will be the "most significant road closure" so far. It closed at 8pm last night between Junction 4 and 5 and will be shut from November 18 until 6am Monday November Major delays are expected as diversions are put in place. Drivers are being warned to avoid the area.
Remember, a section of the M74 will be closed on Saturday, which will make travel from Glasgow difficult. Here is one suggested route to FP. Those taking the little ones out to see the Christmas light switch on in Rutherglen, Lanark and East Kilbride could be affected.
