A signed diversion routes will be in place via M74 northbound Junction 5 Raith on slip road, link road to M73 northbound (Stirling) at Junction 4 Maryville, M73 northbound Junction 2 Baillieston off slip road to Baillieston roundabout, take 4th exit to return to M73 southbound carriageway, M73 southbound link road to M74 southbound at Junction 1 Maryville and continue M74 southbound for Carlisle.
The closure is required to ensure road user and road worker safety whilst essential carriageway resurface works are undertaken and have been scheduled over a full weekend during summer school holidays to minimise disruption to traffic as much as possible.

The diversion route will add an estimated 8.5 miles and 10 minutes to affected journeys on the M74 southbound carriageway at Junction 5 Raith.
There will be no access for emergency vehicles during these closures due to the depth of excavations required for the road surfacing works.
Road users are encouraged to plan ahead and check Traffic Scotland’s website prior to travelling to check their route.
The works will be carried out by Scottish Road Partnership on behalf of Transport Scotland to maintain the integrity and safety of this route. The works have been planned in consultation with Transport Scotland and the emergency services.
