Head of Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services, Colin Park, said: “We apologise in advance for any inconvenience these works may cause to road users.

“We would request that all road users allow additional time for all journeys which involve the use of A727 East Kilbride, East Kilbride during the times indicated and that they plan their routes accordingly.

“We are sure road users will appreciate the long-term benefits of the improvements when the work has been completed.”

The works have been scheduled to take place during the school summer holidays to minimise disruption and reduce congestion to all road users.
