Section of Strathaven Road to close for essential works
Published: Tuesday 31 May 2022
Major works are to take place on Strathaven Road in Hamilton over the next few months.
The road will be closed from its junction at Ballantyne Drive to the junction at Muttonhole Road from 20 June until 5 September.
The works are related to infrastructure improvement works to facilitate housing development and consist of the upgrading and placement of new utility and service connections.
A diversion route will be in place via A723 Strathaven Road, A723 Commercial Road, A726 Glasgow Road, A726 Strathaven Road, A726 Kingsway, A725 Hamilton Road, B7071 Bellshill Road, B7071 Bothwell Road, A72 Muir Street, A72 Palace Grounds Road, A723 Blackswell Lane, A723 Low Patrick Street, A723 Gateside Street, A723 Low Waters Road & A723 Strathaven Road.
Chair of South Lanarkshire Council’s Community and Enterprise Resources Committee, Councillor Robert Brown, said: “We apologise in advance for any inconvenience these works may cause.
“The reason for the duration of the closure is that there are multiple services being installed at the same time so in the long run it should reduce any future disruption.
“The diversion route is a lengthy one, so it makes sense to avoid the area if you can while the works are taking place, and if you cannot then please leave extra time for your journey.”
Access will be maintained throughout the closure for local residents only, who stay within the closed section.
