Overnight repairs to a road in Hamilton are to take place from next week. Carriageway resurfacing works will take place from 8pm until 6am on Almada Street, from Douglas Street to Peacock Cross, from Monday, June 8. The works are expected to last four consecutive nights and be completed by 6am on Thursday, June 11. The overnight closures will mean daytime access remains unaffected. During the overnight works, a diversion route will be in place. For eastbound traffic the alternative route will be Burnbank Road,
Clydesdale Street, Douglas Street, Caird Street, Bothwell Road and Almada Street. For westbound traffic the alternative route will be Muir Street, Palace Grounds Road, Blackswell Lane, Low Patrick Street, Duke Street, Brandon Street and Union Street. South Lanarkshire Council’s head of Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services, Colin Park, said: “We have scheduled these works to take place overnight in a bid to minimise disruption, but we also apologise for any inconvenience that may occur during these essential road improvement works. “We would request that all
road users allow additional time for all journeys which involve the use of Almada Street during the times indicated and that they plan their journey accordingly. “We are sure everyone will appreciate the improved condition of the road when the works are complete.” *Don’t miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.

So basically they shut it down at night again? Awesome.
I saw “overnight repairs” and thought it was like, 1 night only. 4 nights?? That’s wild. Guess I’ll just magically avoid Almada Street somehow.
Wait, eastbound diversion is Burnbank Road etc back onto Almada Street… so why even divert if it goes back there? I’m probably reading it wrong but that seems pointless. Also 8pm-6am is exactly when I drive so love that for me.
Four consecutive nights from June 8 to June 11, got it. But is this the same Almada Street that’s always blocked because of construction or is it different? Like people will still be trying to use it during the morning commute, even if it says daytime access is unaffected. They should just do it midday when more workers are around… unless that would disturb the politicians or something.
