Sunday morning lane closures rescheduled
Lane closures are scheduled to take place in Greenock on Sunday mornings to allow council staff to clear litter and debris from the A8.
The work has been arranged to take place on Sunday mornings, when traffic is quieter, to minimise the impact on drivers.
All closures will run from 6.30am till 2pm. The first lane closure will occur on Sunday, July 7 and run until August 11.
The lane closures will take place on different sections of the A8 to clear litter.
Inverclyde Council is responsible for keeping trunk roads free from litter and has been given permission from Amey, the trunk road authority, to close lanes and implement traffic management to protect workers.
The affected sections of road and dates are:
- July 7: A8 Greenock Road from Newark Roundabout to Port Glasgow Road Junction
- July 14: NO LANE CLOSURES. A8 Greenock Road from Newark Roundabout to Bullring Roundabout, mobile mechanical sweeper works
- July 21: A8 Greenock Road from Newark Roundabout to Finlaystone Country Park
- July 28: A8 Greenock Road from Newark Roundabout to Finlaystone Country Park
- Aug 4: A8 Cartsdyke Roundabout to Dellingburn Street junction.
- Aug 11: A8 Port Glasgow Road/East Hamilton St from Bogston to Cartsdyke Roundabout
This is the first time the council has been able to access the A8 since 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic followed by Scottish Water drainage works at East Hamilton Street.
