CARRIAGEWAY REPAIRS ON M80 SOUTHBOUND AFTER JUNCTION WITH M876

September 16, 2024

  • Overnight closure of M876 southbound at Junction 1 on 17 September 2024

  • Overnight lane closure on M80 southbound

The M876 southbound will be closed at Junction 1 between 19:30 and 06:00 on the night of Tuesday 17 September. A lane closure will also be in place on the M80 southbound between Junctions 8 and 7.

This is to allow Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland to repair defects in the southbound carriageway of the M80 after the junction with the M876.

A signed diversion route for traffic on the M876 southbound will be in place from M876 Junction 1 (Checkbar) to M80 Junction 7 (Haggs), via the B905 to Checkbar Roundabout, the A8004, Larbert Road and the A803. This will add approximately 0.5 miles and 6 minutes to affected journeys.

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “We’ve had to arrange these essential repairs at shorter notice than normal after multiple defects appeared on the same stretch of carriageway over the last few days.

“We thank motorists and the local community for their patience. We’ll do all we can to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible.”

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website www.traffic.gov.scot for up-to-date travel information and allowing extra time for their journey.

All works are weather dependent and subject to postponement in the event of adverse conditions.
