WATCH: Bridge demolition over Scotland's busiest road makes way for new M8
Bo’ness Road Bridge demolition video has been released.
The successful demolition of Bo’ness Road Bridge over the A8 at Chapelhall Junction has been captured on video.
It was part of the £500m M8 M73 M74 Motorway Improvements Project which has enabled significant progress to be made on the construction of the new M8 between Newhouse and Shawhead. Following more than a year’s worth of complex engineering works on the existing A8, Transport Scotland is advising motorists of significant changes to traffic management, including contraflows and the closure of slip roads and junctions in the coming weeks.
When complete, the M8 M73 M74 Motorway Improvements Project will significantly reduce congestion across the central Scotland motorway network, shaving approximately 20 minutes off the daily commute from Glasgow to Edinburgh.
