SCOTTISH Water has warned of changes to the layout of roadworks on the A8 through Greenock.

Work is currently being carried out on East Hamilton Street as part of a £2.5million project in a bid to alleviate flooding.

Currently, motorists are following a contraflow system using both lanes on the eastbound carriageway.

Scottish Water says it will be soon be working on the road’s central reservation, meaning traffic will use a single lane on either side.

The utility company’s work to increase the capacity of the local sewer network was initially due to be completed in late 2023.
