DRAINAGE INVESTIGATION AT M876 JUNCTION 1

May 10, 2022

  • Overnight slip road closures Friday 3 and Monday 6 June 2022

Drainage investigation works are planned at M876 Junction 1 Checkbar on the nights of 3 and 6 June. The slip road off the eastbound carriageway will be closed between 19:30 and 06:00 each night.

A clearly signed diversion route will be in place for eastbound traffic wishing to exit the M876 at Junction 1. Traffic will be diverted on to Junction 2, before returning via the M876 westbound to exit via the westbound off-slip to Checkbar Roundabout.

All traffic management will be removed outwith working hours and access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to make them aware of the plans in advance.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “This drainage investigation will help us to improve safety for motorists using this stretch of the M876.

“We thank motorists and the local community in advance for their patience while we carry out this project. We’ll do all we can to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible.”
