The M74 north and southbound will be closed for the weekend between Maryville Junction 4 and Raith Junction 5, from 20:00 on Friday 18th November to 06:00 on Monday 21st November for the demolition of Bothwellpark Road Bridge to the north of Raith, Junction 5.

There will be no access to Bothwell Services for the duration of this closure but access to the Club Site at Strathclyde Park will be available from Junction 5 (Raith) but it would be more sensible to use Junction 6 and travel through the park.

There are estimated to be 140,000 vehicles using the motorway during this period and the diversion route is the same for north and southbound traffic, so the best advice is to avoid the area completely as delays are inevitable.

Many thanks Navigateur for the warning.  I've added it to the Road Closures Thread and moved this into UK Sites and Touring as well  but will close this one to avoid duplication.
