Predicted noise effects resulting from the construction and operation of the M74 Completion and proposed mitigation are detailed in the environmental statement prepared for the scheme. Relatively few residential properties will experience a significant increase in traffic noise levels. Overall there are more properties and a larger population which are predicted to experience decreases in noise levels than increases and there will be an overall net benefit from the scheme.
