It is anticipated that traffic management will be removed from the Eastbound carriageway of the M8 in the Autumn of 2026. However the works affected the westbound carriageway are not expected to be complete until the Autumn of 2027. 

There are ongoing concerns from residents and businesses in the area due to the disruption from the M8 maintenance programme.  Air quality, road safety and traffic congestion are significant issues affected the Woodside community due to these works.
