BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, is set to carry out three nights of resurfacing improvements on the M9 southbound carriageway at the Junction 9 on slip.
To allow these works to be carried out safely, the M9 Junction 9 southbound on-slip will be closed from 22:00 until 06:00 on the night of Wednesday 2 August for three nights. All traffic management will be removed out with working hours.
During this period of closure, a signed diversion route will be in place for affected traffic. Traffic will be diverted via the M9 northbound carriageway to Junction 10, returning south to the M9 Junction 9, where they will be able to resume their journey. This will add an estimated twelve minutes and 10.3 miles to affected journeys.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland at www.traffic.gov.scot or on Twitter @trafficscotland.
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 significantly improve safety for motorists on this section of the M9.”
“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.”
