A section of the M8 is set to close overnight for a number of weeks. 

Lane closures will be in place for the westbound M8 between the Junction 25 off-slip and Junction 26 on-slip due to a vehicle restraint system (VRS) replacement on the M8 westbound. 

There will also be closures of the Junction 26 Westbound off and on-slips due to the works.
