ESSENTIAL £30,000 roadworks on the A8 from Woodhall to Langbank have been delayed by a week.

They will now go ahead overnight from Thursday March 11 at 8pm until 6am, instead of this evening.

The A8 eastbound carriageway will be closed between Newark Roundabout and Langbank Roundabout.

Local access will be maintained up to Woodhall Roundabout and eastbound traffic will be diverted off at Newark Roundabout to Clune Brae and Kilmacolm Road onto Bridge of Weir, rejoining the trunk road at St James Interchange at the M8 Junction 29.
