OVERNIGHT RESURFACING WORKS ON M876

May 23, 2024

  • Three overnight closures at M876 Junction 2 eastbound

  • Works commence Wednesday 5 June 2024

BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, is set to resurface 1.0 kilometre of the M876 at Junction 2 eastbound.

To allow for the works to be carried out safely, the eastbound M876, between M80 Junction 8 and M9 Junction 8, will be closed from 19:30 until 06:00 on the nights of Wednesday 5, Thursday 6 and Friday 7 June.

During this period of closure, a signed diversion route will be in place directing traffic via Junction 8 on the M80, onto Junction 9 on the M9, before rejoining the M876 at Junction 7 on the M9.

This diversion will add approximately six minutes and 5.4 miles to affected journeys.

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These surfacing works will improve the road quality and safety for motorists using this section of the M876.

“Carriageway closures are essential for safety. However, to minimise disruption, we’ve planned the works to take place overnight.

“We thank motorists in advance for their patience.”

Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and other relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.

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