BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, is set to resurface 1.2 kilometres of the M876 westbound after where it splits from the M9 Junction 8, Kinnaird Interchange.
The work will take place for two nights between 19:30 until 06:00 on Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 February 2023.
A diversion route for M876 westbound traffic will be signposted via the M9 to Junction 9 Bannockburn, directing traffic onto the M80 southbound. Motorists wishing to return to the M876 will be diverted to the M80 Junction 7 offslip, then onto the A803 and the A883 to M876 Junction 1.
The diversion will add approximately ten to 16 minutes and ten to 16 miles to affected journeys, depending on the destination.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “The surfacing improvements will make for smoother and safer journeys on this section of the M876.
“A carriageway closure is essential for the safety of workers and road-users, however we have scheduled the works overnight to minimise disruption.
“If you do need to travel during these works, please allow some extra time for your journey.”
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and other relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland at www.traffic.gov.scot, or on Twitter @trafficscotland.
All work is weather dependent and subject to postponement or cancellation in the event of adverse conditions.
