PART of the Erskine Bridge will be closed for several nights over the coming weeks for cable inspections.
The southbound carriageway will be shut every Friday and Saturday night from 8pm until 6am, from Friday, August 16 until Saturday, September 14.
One lane will be closed on the northbound side of the bridge during these times.
Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.
At times out with the weekend overnight closures, the cable inspections will proceed within a fully enclosed cable inspection cradle, and all traffic lanes will be open as normal.
Diversions will be in place for southbound traffic and are as follows:
- Motorway traffic wishing to travel on the southbound A898 will be diverted along the A82 eastbound Great Western Road to Crow Road and the A739 before being directed to the A814 Clydeside Expressway towards the M8 at Kingston Bridge. HGVs must use this diversion route.
- Non-motorway traffic will be diverted along the A82 eastbound Great Western Road, to Crow Road and the A739 before being directed onto the A814 Clydeside Expressway. Traffic will then be directed to Finnieston Street, Govan Road and Paisley Road West. From there, traffic will be diverted along Edmiston Drive, Shieldhall Road, and Glasgow Road before being directed to Glebe Street, Inchinnan Road, Greenock Road and Southbar Road to the A726.
