And diversions will be in place across the closures.
Drivers are being urged to plan their journeys if travelling and note the work is weather dependent and could be cancelled if weather conditions worsen.
And motorists who enter the LEZ are being urged to follow the diversion route at all times.
If they deviate from the route they may be issued with a penalty charge notice from Glasgow City Council.
Information on when the road will be closed and where the diversions will be can be found here[2].

It is understood the road rage[3] fight started between a Porsche[4] driver and Fiesta driver after one cut the other one up.
A Porsche is seen parked up blocking traffic across the outside lane with a lorry packed up beside it as the pair dangerously roll about road on one of the busiest urban bridges in Europe[5].
In bizarre video footage one woman wearing a purple top is seen dragging another woman by the hair[6], who then getting on top of her and starts rapidly beating her with her fists.
The pair roll around two lane road in front of an HGV which was forced to stop.
The Fiesta driver is understood to have got back in the car and drove off.
Video[9] of the fight has circulated on social media[10] since the incident took place this morning[11].
Police[12] Scotland confirmed they had received a report of two individuals fighting on the Kingston Bridge at around 11.10am this morning.
Cops[13] said they attended but were no trace and there were no further reports.
It’s not the first time people have risked their life pulling daft stunts on the M8.
It comes after a man was spotted running into oncoming traffic[14] on a busy Scots motorway.
And a oblivious cyclist was clocked pedalling over the bridge[15] in December.
