Glasgow: 2 lanes closed eastbound

Glasgow motorists are facing disruption this week due to a lane restriction on a major Eastbound route. From 09:56 on 16 August 2026, two lanes of the Eastbound route have been restricted in the Glasgow area. The restriction is expected to remain in place until further notice, with commuters advised to check for updates before embarking on their journeys.

The lane restriction is due to abnormal traffic, with Traffic Scotland, the highway authority responsible for monitoring and managing Scotland's road network, urging drivers to exercise caution and plan their routes accordingly. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes to avoid delays, and to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions. This will help to minimise disruption and ensure a safe journey for all.

The affected route is a key artery for Eastbound traffic in Glasgow, and the lane restriction is likely to cause congestion and delays for drivers. Those travelling in this direction are advised to check for updates before setting out, and to allow plenty of time to reach their destinations. By planning ahead and using alternative routes, drivers can avoid the worst of the disruption and ensure a smooth journey.

Traffic Scotland is working closely with other stakeholders to monitor the situation and provide regular updates on the lane restriction. Motorists are encouraged to check the Traffic Scotland website or mobile app for the latest information on traffic conditions, and to follow Traffic Scotland on social media for regular updates. This will help to keep drivers informed and up-to-date with the latest information on the lane restriction.

In addition to checking traffic apps and websites, drivers are also advised to consider using alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or cycling, to avoid the disruption. By working together, drivers and Traffic Scotland can ensure a safe and efficient journey for all.
