M9 JUNCTION 1B SOUTHBOUND RESURFACING

May 28, 2025

UPDATE 19 June 2025: The previously delayed traffic loops installation on the M9 at Junction 1B will now take place on Tuesday 24 June. Please see updated information below.


  • Five overnight carriageway closures 10-13 and 24 June

BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, has resurfaced 600 metres, and is set to carry out traffic loop installation works on the M9 southbound carriageway at Junction 1B, Winchburgh.

The final night of work is set to take place on Tuesday 24 June between 20:30 and 06:00.

For the safety of road users and the workforce, the M9 southbound will be closed at Junction 2 during these works, with a signed diversion route in place via the A904 and the M90 southbound from Junction 1A Queensferry, to rejoin the M9 southbound at Junction 1A Kirkliston. This will add an estimated 13 minutes and 8.2 additional miles to affected journeys.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “The traffic loops installation will ensure traffic data is accurately recorded on this section of the M9. A carriageway closure is essential for safety; 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.
