Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland is planning to resurface approximately 0.7 kilometre of the M80 northbound carriageway near Bankhead over two nights, beginning on Monday 10 May.
For the safety of workers and road users, the M80 will be closed northbound between Junction 8 and Junction 9 of the M9 from 19:30 until 06:00 on the nights of 10 and 11 May.
During this closure a diversion route for northbound traffic will be signposted, via the M876 and M9. This diversion will add an estimated 11 minutes and 10.2 miles to affected journeys.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Strict physical distancing protocols, in line with Scottish Government guidance, are in place to protect teams and ensure they remain safe on site.
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: “These surfacing improvements will improve safety and ride quality for motorists on this section of the M80.
“Road closures are essential for safety, however we’ve planned the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption.
“We thank motorists in advance for their patience and encourage them to plan ahead by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
