The A725 northbound and southbound carriageways between the A7071 near Raith Junction and Bellziehill Junction, will each be closed overnight for six nights, starting Friday 20 October. The works will take place in two phases.
Phase 1: Northbound
The A725 northbound carriageway will be closed overnight between 8pm and 6am between the off slip road to A7071 near Raith Junction and Bellziehill Junction off slip road as detailed below:
- Friday 20 October (one night)
- Monday 23 October & Tuesday 24 October (two nights)
As a result, the following slip roads will also be closed:

- A725 northbound Orbiston Junction on slip road
- A725 northbound Bellziehill Junction off slip road
Phase 2: Southbound
The A725 southbound carriageway will be closed overnight between 8pm and 6am the following day between Bellziehill Junction off slip road and Raith Junction off slip road to Raith roundabout as follows:
- Wednesday 25 October to Friday 27 October (three nights)

- A725 southbound Orbiston Junction off slip road
- A725 southbound Orbiston Junction on slip road
- A725 southbound Raith Junction off slip road to Raith roundabout
These overnight closures have been phased to ensure only one direction of the A725 carriageway, northbound or southbound, is closed at any given time. They are required to ensure road user and road worker safety while essential bridge joint works are undertaken and have been scheduled overnight to minimise disruption to road users.
Signed diversion routes will be in place for both the closures. Please plan ahead and check the Traffic Scotland website before travelling on these evenings to check your route.
The works will be carried out by Scottish Road Partnership on behalf of Transport Scotland to maintain the integrity and safety of this route. The works have been planned in consultation with Transport Scotland, North Lanarkshire Council, South Lanarkshire Council, Amey South West Unit and Police Scotland.
All works are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
