Junction 19 Eastbound at Charing Cross is also experiencing delays after an accident.
One lane has been closed.
Earlier this morning, one of the country's busiest motorways was closed due to an accident.
All traffic was diverted from the M8's eastbound carriageway to the west of Glasgow city centre while the emergency services dealt with the incident.
At about 5.50am this morning, a car could be seen on its roof close to junction 26 Hillington.
Queues built up quickly as vehicles were forced to leave the motorway.
