Improvement works get underway from Monday 8 August 2022 on the B756 Bellshill Road.

The work, which is expected to be completed by Friday 12 August, requires the section of road between Crofthead Street and Wilkie Road to be closed as it is not sufficiently wide to safely maintain vehicular access while the resurfacing is being undertaken.

General traffic will be unable to travel through the closure during the works, although we will endeavour to maintain access for businesses/ residents who live/ work within the closure wherever possible.

There may be instances where access and egress will be significantly delayed depending on the status and progress of works on site.

If you wish to avoid this, it may be advisable to park your vehicle outside the road closure prior to works starting. Traffic marshals and site staff will be there to advise and assist residents during the working day.

A diversion will be in place via Wilkie Road, Hornal Road and B7071 Bothwell Road.

Robert Brown, the chair of Community and Enterprise Resources, said: “We hope all road users will allow additional time for any journeys they are planning to make around the affected area of Bellshill Road.

“I apologise for any inconvenience that may occur but I am sure that road users will appreciate the improvement works once these essential road improvement works are completed.”
