Based on recent coverage, “M8 closed” has referred to multiple situations in and around Glasgow, including overnight closures for maintenance and ongoing roadworks, with both directions affected at times and detours in place. If you want the very latest, I can check current reports if you’d like me to search now.[4][6]

• Provide a quick summary of the latest confirmed closure status and detours in the Glasgow area

For context, here are typical patterns seen in recent items:
