The slip road exiting the M80 northbound at Junction 9, Pirnhall, will be closed between 19:30 and 06:00 on the nights of Thursday 6 and Friday 7 February, as part of ongoing drainage improvement works.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will carry out the project, with works involving closures to be completed by the morning of Saturday 8 February.
A signed diversion route will be in place, directing traffic onwards to turn at M9 Junction 10 Craigforth before returning southbound to exit via the Junction 9 southbound off-slip. This will add an estimated 11 minutes and 10 miles to affected journeys.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained and all traffic management will be removed during the daytime.
Consultation has taken place with relevant stakeholders in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These works on the M80 will address defects in the road drainage system, through pipe repairs and renewing of filter drains, improving the overall highway drainage and creating safer journeys for motorists.
“It is essential for the safety of road workers and motorists that we close this section of the carriageway during these works, however we’ve scheduled them overnight in order to minimise any disruption.
“We thank motorists in advance for their patience.”
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.
