•  Three overnight carriageway closures between Bonnybridge and Larbert from Wednesday 1 December to Friday 3 December

For the safety of workers and road users during these investigation works, Junction 1 at Denny westbound on-slip will be closed between 19:30 and 06:00 on the nights of Wednesday 1 December, Thursday 2 December and Friday 3 December.

A diversion route for westbound traffic will be signposted via the A883 and A803 before rejoining the M80 at Junction 7 Haggs, adding an estimated 9 minutes and 2.9 miles to affected journeys.

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times. Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “Road closures are essential to ensure the safety of workers and road users, however we’ve planned the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption and will do all we can to complete the project as quickly as possible.”

Strict protocols, in line with Scottish Government guidance, are in place to protect teams and ensure they remain safe on site.
