Part of the M8 will be shut overnight for nine days in April as resurfacing works are carried out.
BEAR Scotland will resurface around three kilometres of the westbound carriageway at Junction 4 near East Whitburn.
As a result, the westbound carriageway will be shut between Junctions 3A and 4 on the nights of Wednesday April 1 to Friday April 3, Tuesday April 7 to Friday April 10, Monday April 13 and Tuesday April 14.
Diversions will be in place for traffic between 8.30 pm and 6.00 am, which will add around 5 minutes to affected journeys.
The signposted route will divert traffic via Starlaw Road, the A7066 and the A801.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South-East Network Manager, said: "It is essential for safety that we close the carriageway while resurfacing takes place.
“We’ve scheduled the works at night to minimise disruption, however we appreciate that this will cause delays for some people and thank the public in advance for their patience and understanding.
“If you need to use this route during the works, our advice is to plan ahead and allow extra time for the diversion."
