Overnight carriageway closures for drainage improvement works will be in place on the northbound M80 between Junction 8 Bankhead and Junction 9 Pirnhall from 19:30 until 06:00 on Monday to Friday nights for four weeks, beginning on the night of Monday 21 August and concluding on the morning of Saturday 16 September.
One lane of the M80 southbound carriageway will also be closed during these works, from the bridge over the River Carron to the bridge over the B818.
A signed diversion for northbound traffic will be in place from M80 Junction 8 via the M876, turning at Junction 3 Bowtrees to join the M9 northbound to Junction 9. This diversion is expected to add an estimated 15.1 miles and 15 minutes to affected journeys.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These works will involve a complete upgrade of the drainage infrastructure within the central reserve, improving its capacity and efficiency.
“Carriageway and lane closures are essential for safety while we carry out these works, however we’ve scheduled them to take place overnight in order to minimise any disruption.
“If you do need to use this route at night over the next few weeks, our advice is to plan ahead and allow some extra time for your journey.”
Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland on www.traffic.gov.uk, or on Twitter at @trafficscotland.
Consultation has taken place with relevant stakeholders to inform them about the traffic management in advance.
