The work will be carried out from its crossroads with Main Street/Mill Street/Burnhill Street to Shawfield Stadium from Tuesday 19 - Sunday 31 July.

In order to carry out these essential improvements with minimum disruption to road users and keep the traffic flowing as much as possible, the work will be carried out over three phases.

Phase 1: 19 - 21 July
Resurfacing of Burnhill Street from Cathcart Road to two thirds of junction of Glasgow Road / Mill Street, Rutherglen. Closure of Burnhill Street in both directions with three-way set of lights and contraflow on Glasgow Road / Mill Street to allow traffic to flow in both directions on Glasgow Road, Mill Street and Main Street.

Phase 2: 24 July
Resurfacing the remaining one third of junction of Glasgow Road/Mill Street, Rutherglen. Closure of Main Street in both directions with three-way set of lights and contraflow on Glasgow Road / Mill Street allowing traffic to flow in both directions on Glasgow Road, Mill Street and Burnhill Street.

Phase 3: 25 - 31 July
Resurfacing Glasgow Road (northbound only) from Main Street to Shawfield Stadium. Closure of Glasgow Road Northbound only and traffic to flow in both directions on Burnhill Street, Mill Street and Main Street. Glasgow Road Southbound only.

Unfortunately, for safety reasons, road closures will be essential on A730 Glasgow Road, Burnhill Street and Main Street. However, access to properties and businesses within the road closure will be maintained as much as possible but delays should be expected.

Signed diversion routes will be in place through each phasing of the works.

Councillor Robert Brown, the chair of the council’s Community and Enterprise Resources, said: “These essential improvements being carried out on key roads in Rutherglen will improve the travel experience for users.”

“The work is being done during the quieter holiday period to minimise inconvenience but the road closures are inevitably disruptive and we hope people will understand.

“The council is making every effort to accommodate local businesses and residents and we are grateful for the co-operation of everyone concerned.

“We ask that all road users allow additional time for any journeys which involve the use of the A730 Glasgow Road throughout the phased work.

“We apologise for any inconvenience but are sure that road users will benefit from these essential improvement works once they have been completed."
