Motorists have been advised to plan ahead when major roadworks planned for two of Scotland’s motorways get underway.
Overnight resurfacing is to be carried out on the M80 and on the M73 from Monday 15 September 2025 for five days.
The works will take place on the M80 near Cumbernauld, between junctions 4 and 5, and at Junction 3 on the M73.
The works will take place between the hours of 8pm to 6am each night and are scheduled to finish on Saturday 20 September.
Diversions will be put in place while the roadworks are carried out, and drivers have been asked to check with Traffic Scotland if travelling in the area at night.

“The works are being carried out overnight, when traffic flows are reduced, to minimise delays to motorists as much as possible.
“Traffic management is required to ensure that workers and road users are protected, however our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible."
