• Three nights of carriageway closures beginning 31 August 2023

BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, is set to resurface 0.7 kilometers of the M9 between junctions 5 and 6.

For the safety of workers and road users, the M9 northbound carriageway between junctions 5 and 6 will be closed from 19:30 and 06:00, on the nights of  Friday 1, Monday 4 and Tuesday 5 September.

A diversion route for northbound traffic will be signposted from M9 at junction 5, via the A9 and the A904, where traffic will re-join the M9 northbound at junction 6. This diversion will add approximately six minutes and 1.1 miles to affected journeys, depending on the desired destination.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “The surfacing improvements will improve the safety for motorists using this section of the M9.

“A carriageway closure is essential for the safety of workers and road users; however we’ve 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 at @trafficscotland.

All work is weather dependent and subject to postponement or cancellation in the event of adverse conditions.
