Question
To ask the Scottish Government what snagging works are yet to be completed on the M8 M73 M74 Motorway Improvements Project.
Answer
Under the M8 M73 M74 Motorway Improvements contract, Scottish Roads Partnership, Transport Scotland’s contractor, was determined to have completed the construction aspects of the project in October.
SRP is now required to undertake maintenance operations for a 30 year period and these will continue as normal on the road network.
Work will include structural inspections, resurfacing, barrier replacement and replacing other life expired assets, landscaping works and addressing any future defects such as potholes, as well as completing the post-construction noise surveys.
Transport Scotland will continue to monitor the contractor’s ongoing operations.
