Conditions for travel this morning remain extremely poor and emergency services have been working overnight to resolve the situation.
In particular, the M74 junctions 9 to 12 southbound and junctions 16 to 13 northbound, have been affected with a number of drivers becoming stuck on the road due to the challenging conditions. Partner agencies have been working together to ensure that welfare support is provided to road users who have been stuck on the M74.
Officers from Police Scotland are urging motorists to avoid the area. If your journey is not essential, please avoid this particular area of the M74. Further updates will be provided.
If anyone is on the hard shoulder, we would ask drivers, if safe to do so, to try and move off the hard shoulder to enable emergency vehicles access to deal with the situation and assist drivers on the road.
