Temporary speed cameras installed on M74 for ‘essential’ works in place until end of April

Temporary average speed cameras will begin enforcing on the M74[1] this week whilst essential bridge refurbishment work is being undertaken by Amey. Police Scotland[2] Safety Cameras will be enforcing the 30mph temporary speed limit in both directions, between near Kirkmuirhill at junction 9 and 11 - visible signage is in place advising motorists. Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, are undertaking major bridge refurbishment works on the M74 at Nethan Viaduct, south of Junction 10.

The 30-week programme of improvements will take place in five phases and includes waterproofing, concrete repairs, resurfacing, expansion joint replacements, edge beam strengthening, and barrier upgrades. The programme of refurbishments began on Tuesday October 1 2024 and will run until Wednesday April 30 2025. Much of the work will be carried out through the night by the road workers, when there is less traffic moving through the area.
