Raith Road Closure this weekend

Traffic leaving the M74 southbound at the off-slip, junction 5 Raith will run on the new slip road alignment. The north side of Raith roundabout (A725) will be closed over the weekend from 2000 hours on Friday 24 July to 0600 hours on Monday 27 July 2015.

Traffic should follow the signed diversion via A725 to Bellshill roundabout, A725 southbound and return to Raith.

This traffic management is required to allow construction of the new Raith improvements. Delays are expected and you are advised to plan journeys in advance and allow extra time to get to your destination while these works take place.

A 40mph speed restriction will be in place on the A725.

Blantyre Telegraph adds…*Remember speed cameras are live. Area this weekend best completely avoided if possible.”
