Scotland TranServ is resurfacing the carriageway on the A82 between Bowling and Old Kilpatrick this weekend.

There will also be no southbound access to the Erskine Bridge from the A82 from 10.30pm Tuesday until 6am on Wednesday for similar works.

Road bosses say a contraflow system will be in place this weekend to manage traffic, while a diversion will operate on the Erskine Bridge.

Andy Fraser, Scotland TranServ’s General Manager said: “Across this region, Scotland TranServ has delivered significant investment on behalf of Transport Scotland. From the M8, to the Erskine Bridge and Stoneymollan.

“This is part of an ongoing investment as we go about making south west Scotland’s trunk roads a network to be proud of.” On Saturday, November 15 and Sunday, November 16 the northbound contraflow will begin at the Dunglass Roundabout, with the southbound before the slips to the Erskine Bridge.

Transerv has also said it necessary to close the small section of road at Gavinburn from the A814 Dumbarton Road, to prevent interruption to traffic on the main northbound carriageway of the A82 trunk road.

On Tuesday night Southbound traffic on the A82 trunk road will continue on the A82 and follow the recognised diversion route to Glasgow.

Traffic travelling northbound on the A82 from the Duntocher/Clydebank area will be unable to cross the Erskine Bridge and will continue to the Dunglass roundabout and join the diversion for southbound traffic.

Russell Rennie, contract director, Scotland TranServ , added: “We are doing all we can to make sure that our trunk roads are in the best possible condition before the Winter weather sets-in.

"The cold weather conditions can exacerbate defects and our recent maintenance checks have flagged-up some issues on the southbound slip-road to the Bridge that should be repaired now to prevent further damage.

“In order to minimise disruption, we are carrying put the work at night and as we have a duty to keep our workers and of the motoring public safe it will be necessary to close the southbound carriageway.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank local drivers in advance, for their patience.” Motorists can keep up to date with real time traffic information by visiting www.trafficscotland.org or following @TrafficScotland on Twitter. Advanced warning signs will also be in place on the approach to inform motorists that roadworks are taking place.
