Hide AdWork was originally scheduled for this week, but postponed because of adverse weather conditions.
A signed diversion route will be in place directing westbound traffic to continue to M80 Junction 7, before returning eastbound on the M876 to exit via the Junction 1 eastbound off-slip.
This will add approximately nine minutes and 6.8 miles to affected journeys.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s south east network manager, said: “These surfacing improvements will improve ride quality and safety for motorists on this section of the M876.
